As you know you answered my question in the other thread Dr bob, very much appreciated on that. Well I guess at this point its up to me on which one I want huh.

For those of us with RHD cars the plastic one is a lot dearer than a LHD one. This makes the aluminium one cheaper.

Go the new plastic, it's known to last a very long time and you don't have to worry about the unknown of who welded or pieced together that other one.

not to mention that the aluminum tank when its at operation temperature will burn you if you should happen to touch it ,
say while removing the air cleaner.
