Just get a new one as another old one will leak as well. The metal sleeve corrodes and makes the plastic pipe brittle.

No point in replacing a 25 year old plus tank with another one of the same age

They are about £30 new

New ones are cheap enough https://www.classicswede.org/shop/ex...60-s-v90-92-98

my second hand one lasted ten years plus.I only changed it because the warning light magnet gave up,not because of the corroded pipe underneath.

However,the brand new clean on looka a whole lot better.

This is what happened to the header tank on my 940

It was a good looking seconhand one that I cleaned up and fitted

Not worth it for the sake of £30
