I too have always wanted a coolant bottle with a window on the side to measure the coolant level. While doing some last minute shopping yesterday @ Target, I noticed a very unusual SS canister for dry goods. This one has a flush window inplace to see the level of the contents inside. http://www.cooking.com/products/shprodde.asp?SKU=189832 Something like this would be very nice to have on the coolant bottle, except of course to have it mounted verticly. The canister in the link above just uses a plastic insert, and a frame press-fitted into place rather than welded. Does anyone know if this can be done? Eventually when I get around to customizing my interior, I figure on also installing a float just like Volvo cars into the surge tank to activate a warning light when the level is too low. So when I have a custom bottle made, I'd like to have a window like this installed as well. -Robert vin 6585 "X" --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Joseph Molino" <foxmul@xxxx> wrote: > I like this one better because it looks like an exact replacement for the > plastic one.
