I'm looking at replacing the plastic coolant tank as a precautionary measure as I have heard they fail at the neck of the bottle.

There are after market aluminium ones available as well as the Genuine Mazda part LFG1-15-350B and LFG1-15-350C.

Does anyone know what the difference is between the B and C part number? Both seem to be available.

No idea on the "B" and "C" mine has the code LFG 115 350 and K1054 on it. Is genuine Mazda. Purchased from MX5 Mania for an 05' - 13' NC.
Where are you purchasing from?

I can only find references for the ‎LFGB-15-350C online.

There's a ‎LF8B-15-350B but that's for a Mazda3 of the same era...

I think the C is just a later version. So I've been told on another forum now.

No idea on the numbers sorry, But I bought an IL Motorsport alloy NC tank from MX5 Parts UK and it is beautifully made and a great fit.cost about $100 less than any available locally.

Thanks, MX-5 Parts UK is always very quick shipping too.

MX5 Parts UK show over $100 shipping to Australia. Might be an error but the plastic tank keeps showing AU $102.43 to ship. And that's not viable.
The Alloy one is only AU $36.90 shipping.

There is a mistake on the MX5 Parts site , the alloy tank is cheaper to post(about half the cost) than the plastic one !! Total including freight was $284 aus .And you are right about good service Red Bullet, ordered on a Thursday arrived the following Tuesday!

It could be correct. Different items may get shipped from different locations/businesses. They might be using a dropshipper model.
Also might explain the quick delivery, it's not coming from the UK but somewhere a lot nearer.

Delivered by DHL from the UK.
