Aluminum Intercooler Coolant Tank for Whipple?

Hey guys, I'm looking to replace the plastic intercooler coolant tank that comes with Whipple superchargers. Has anyone replaced theirs with an aluminum one? If so, what did you go with? I've been looking and can't seem to find anything that fits in the original location of the Whipple tank. Thanks in advance!

After some searching, I discovered our Whipple intercooler tanks are from an 03-04 Cobra. Canton makes a replacement for it. I ordered the Canton tank from Summit Racing yesterday and had it overnighted to me. Got to work on it when the FedEx guy dropped it off today. The swap was pretty easy. I suctioned out the coolant in the original tank, removed the hoses and wrapped the top hose with plastic and a rubber band to prevent any spillage. Wrapping the lower hose was not needed. I had to cut the original mounting bracket because the new tank hits it where the bracket angles down. Bending the bracket down for clearance didn't help because that made it hit the shock tower and CAI box. The original cap fits perfectly. The job took about an hour.


Original mounting bracket cut. Discard the longer piece on the right.
