Re: [DML] Metal coolant bottle

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.

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.
