Re: Plastic Header Bottle question

Steve, The plastic water bottle was just fine for the De Lorean, but 
after 20 years and depending on how much they were used, plastic 
crackes and it's not repairable. I've seen cars with 5000 miles on 
them and they look brand new. SS replacements are the best from some 
of the vendors unless you want original. That will cost.
