I will keep this short. The quality and durability of this product is obviously good. The welds were done nicely. However, the fitment is not exactly perfect. The bottom flange hole where the bolt goes, doesn't line up. If you use a dremel to make the 2 top bolt- holes wider to the right, you will be able to push the whole unit forward by 1/2 inch, which should fix the problem. Other than that everything else is good. I'm just using the two bolts to hold the coolant tank for now.

Looks like a nice product.

its worth mentioning that the replacement alternative from IL got a level indicator.

I found out about that, 1 day after I ordered the Moroso. I wonder if anyone here has that Il coolant tank? It definitely looks good.

I have it; it is well made but the coolant level indicator isn't very useful. It sits so low that if the coolant dropped enough to register, you'd really be dangerously low.

Fluid level indicators can also be a potential source for leaks. There are pros and cons either way.
