Hi,
I'm using the standard one supplied by Westfield like the one on this guy's page:

On a Westfield it sits on the scuttle and needs a small bracket to make it level. Seems to suit my car fine and I can just get it high enough to work properly.

MK 1 or 2 Fiesta I think.

I have used Volvo 240 in the past - nice round compact unit - but recently used one of these on another project.

Compact and very good quality.

I'm using the standard TVR Griffiths one off my donor ... left one (and I removed the rad swirl tank on the right although in hindsight I need not have - longish storey with cooling problems).

mines definitely a ford, but was supplied in 1997, thought at the time it was from a ford sierra.
But doing a google search mine is definitely the same as this one.

So yep...looks like a mk2 fiesta one.
