(Sorry? last reply was all jumbled?) Bo, for my 67, I wanted to add an overflow tank for peace of mind, but didn't want it to show. So I found one that was pretty well sealed (lid and hose into the bottle etc) Then I placed the bottle behind and forward of the battery in the fender well and ran the hose out from the radiator and through the core support and to the bottle. No one knows it's there... well, until now... and it's out of sight out of mind. And I know I'm good to go and our dogs won't have anything to get into (they live in the Garage & back yard) Here is about as much as you can see of it... just the hose... I have a tranny cooler in front of the radiator so I ran the hose this way, you may be able to route it so it appears closer to stock... http://tinyurl.com/yl3bwvf http://tinyurl.com/yjvbb45 Brett - 67 Drop Top 455! Seattle! Subject: Re: [FGF] '68 Radiator Overflow Container From: "Bo Svenson" <[email protected]> Thanks Everyone! I looked the bottle over, found a U.S. Patent, Googled it, and you were all correct. That said, feel free to take a look at US Patent 4677943 - Automotive non-pressure cooling system, US Patent Issued on July 7, 1987. Whereas it provides a solution for my dilemma with the puking, I am stumped with where to place it as there is no known precedent - bothered by the fact that my Bird is otherwise visually correct throughout. Oh, well....
