Lightbulb Spec-R vs. Pro Alloy 3dr header tanks with sight glass

Hi folks,

I want to buy a new header tank for my 3dr, it should have a sight glass and a connector to suit the original Ford level sender, as I want to keep it.
Don't need the connector for a swirl pot though...

Do you have any pros or cons on these two? I can't decide

Would be great to get some comments from owners of each - please leave me your thoughts about them.

Thanks in advance,

Martin

Thanks Adam,

Do you know anything about the quality of Spec-R tanks? I never had one of these, neither did I see one on a car here in Austria or even in Germany...

I agree with above both have the best name for quality so your really splitting them on looks and availability/cost ect

The quality of Spec-R products are very good and are well tried and tested products.

Spec-R header tank, strut brace and group A air box on my 2wd Saff.
