WTB: Early Model Battery Expansion Tank / Vent

[graphik]

Looking to purchase part number: 61211374963

This is the early model battery expansion tank. It is NLA, hoping someone is parting an early model and has one for sale. Let me know.

There's a superseded part number that looks equivalent that's still available? the part # you posted looks like it was used on multiple years, not just early models.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately the one you shared is a different size and doesn't fit the larger hole in the battery tray on my early model. I think you are right though that it isn't only early models that had this style of vent. Thread from m42 forum: http://www.m42club.com/forum/index.php?topic=5965.0 - nice write up here with the correct parts numbers depending on which vent you have.

I actually have the part you listed and its much smaller. A few photos for reference below.

Still on the hunt if anyone has the larger vent box available!

I guess it depends how critical you are of small details like that. the newer one will work, it doesn't clip to the battery tray - it's small enough that it just supports off the vent hose which I think runs through a plug in that hole

If you saw this car you'd know how critical I am! haha :)

I wouldn't mind using the newer one but I will need to find a grommet big enough for the larger hole under the batter tray to simply drop the tubing through. Still looking if anyone has it.
