They clean up using Milton Sterilising Tablets if you are young, or Steradent Tablets if you're an old fogey ... I started on Milton's now I'm using Steradent

Can you post a photo of it in situ ?
Will go and take a picture in a minute

I've seen one on Jim's (Muley) car a few years ago at Silverstone and it looked good. I think it was a BRG but he's had that many I can't be certain
Thought it would be nice for newer members of LEC to see what a shiny header tank does in smartening up the engine bay
