Re: Question about steel bottle

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

The "standard" metal bottle sold by the venders comes in S/S or 
aluminum. It is approximatly the same size. Half of the bottle fits 
inside the bracket so when the bottle is out of the car it appears 
larger. They fit with no alteration to the car. I recomend you also 
add a coolant recovery bottle because you cannot see how much coolant 
is in the system. If you keep the header bottle full and let it 
overflow into the recovery bottle then you can watch the level just 
like on a modern car. I mounted mine on the left pontoon and ran a 
hose from the nipple under the pressure cap to the recovery bottle.
I replaced mine not for looks but because the origional header bottle 
ages and cracks.
