what might be 'the closest part to an original 82 DV coolant tank? ..

did you get a 1.9 waterboxer one or what ?
and you know about the welded aluminum direct replacement for the stock 82
bottle at Van Cafe for about $ 200, right ?

I wish people would include enough information in their posts to be well
understood.
