Yes I do. It cost 225.00 + freight.
The aluminum tanks are something we have done for years with great success. Just have not put them up on the store yet.

That tank looks great Pat, i like the fact you can fit a frozen bottle of water in it too if needed.

The new coolant tank looks perfect too.

Gotta love the size and I like the aluminum... but I also like the plastic... which I'd paint white.

What about the issue of heat. That aluminum tank looks awesome but would it shed a noticeable amount less heat than the plastic one?

I follow what you are saying but I have yet to even find the tank to be warm.

Aluminum will absorb heat from the engine compartment. How hot it gets really depends on many factors.
Heat outside, HX ability to remove heat, boost levels how long in boost, and run time. Long drives in Texas in the summer, your engine bay will be hotter then short drives.

Not saying it absorbs a so much and that's why we built the composite tanks. Composite are more cost effective and more versitle.
Aluminum can have more bling, and more cost effective to build one offs.
