Need Advice for Coolant Overflow Tank

I am looking to replace my Coolant overflow tank in my '89 RS, V6. All the places I've found online are $40.00 and up. Any advice?

or switch to water-less coolant and scrap the tank completely.

I was able to find that website though. They seem to be the slightly cheaper alternatives, but I'm still on the lookout. Indeed, 89 Camaro/Firebird overflow bottles are the same.

Thank you for your help

One close, yes. Pretty bad reputation and very badly overpriced.
