Just got some Radium parts from America, i must admit they are really well made top quality if a bit expensive.Here is a few pictures, still got to fit the expansion tank but i might get Phoenix to fit that due to not being sure about getting air into the system.
Hi Jonny did i see on a previous post that you bought some Radium catch cans ?

I went to buy one of the header tanks to find they are out of stock
Yea fuel rail too and I so want those Green titanium bolts
Which are also out of stock
The products does seems to be very high quality.

You should settle for these for a quick fix:
shiney bits
I’ve just had a look at the radiumauto.com website, the products they manufacture are quality!
I imagine there is a little import tax to pay bringing these in from the states

I think this is a sore point eh Pete?
yes but worth it (i have got over it now) ha ha.
Like wise, it’s the price you or should I have to pay…especially State Side. Chinese are more lax tax, but tbh it’s the way of the World is it not.
I must say the fitting instructions are very good too.
It’s a shame there is not a UK distributor. If the demand is there for these parts they would be a good addition for the Lotus spares/parts companies.
…or just pay the import tax, it wouldn’t be that much anyway
still very, very nice!
I think the ‘radium green’ colour would go well with a bit of engine bay carbon bling
IIRC you have to pay VAT as well.

Or have a holiday over there and bring them back, best of both world
and possibly also customs clearing charges from couriers…a UK distributor would certainly make it easier and the costs more transparent.
Just fitted the expansion tank today and here is a couple of pics.
