Hi, anybody know where I can source a header tank for my M100, I have damaged the inlet pipe on the original.

Have you looked at SJ Sportscars and Classic Team Lotus websites?
They both show them as stocked.

If you still have your old black cap don't throw it away!

In my experience the newer yellow caps don't play nice with the repro tanks (which they all are now unless you can find a N.O.S Vauxhall one), they don't have enough threads to tighten properly - result - fountain of boiling coolant and steam in your engine bay and a search for the cap along the side of the road!
