Coolant bottle gone!!

[southafrican van]

Hi gents!
I haven't been on here for ages, and my van hasn't run in about 2 years!
In reviving her, I've had to ebay a distributor from Israel!
Brakes redone, but as you can tell by the thread title, the big glass reservoir and lid and piping are missing.
There are no local parts available for a 4.
Can I make one up?
Or look for one from a 5?
Any advice appreciated.
John

you can find an expansion bottle for the R4 here but any expansion bottle will do as a short term fix as long as the "pressure cap" rate is the same as the one R4
120866453569 this one is on ebay from Italy

This seller won't ship to South Africa.
Any other ideas?

John,
your lucky day, MAYBE! Where RU in South Africa?
I am a swallow between France and South Africa - Cape Town. I travel yearly between the two as I stay in SA for the European winters for my sins. Here locally in the countryside of SW France there are too many R4 lying in backyards and fields. So let me scavenge an expansion bottle for you if you are not in a hurry and I can either post it or bring it over with me in November to CT.
Let me know
Cheers

I do not know how much could it cost to sell such a bottle from Italy, but if you need some help...

Thank you, gentlemen.
Franzose have sent me one!

Next problem..

I need an electric fuel pump but the two I've tried deliver too much pressure, and blow the due past the needle and seat.
Any suggestions?
