I converted my windshield washer bottle into a coolant overflow bottle. Worked out great.

I believe that some of the vendors have them for sale. I'd check with Wes at classicheartbeat.com.

Your post sounds like you are looking for a stock one. They didn't come with one at all. So just pick up a new one at any parts store. Super cheap.

Back in the day... we used to clamp a 16 oz. Schlitz can to the support... maybe more stock looking than you think !

Not factory, but the ones that Wes had look like they would be factory. They actually look like the washer container. I think they are quite affordable if you really want one.

Here's a pic under the hood of the RestoRod w/ one of Wes' overflow bottles mounted on the passenger side. Low cost, looks stock, works great. The bottle and mount are the same as the windshield washer... the bottle cap is the part that's hard to locate.
