overflow bottle pics

Installed my rad. overflow bottle tell me what you think still need to clean up the spacers so they dont stand out so much but this is the general idea.

Re: overflow bottle pics

Go to your local hardware store and buy some stainless steel tubing (plumbing section)and cut it the size of your spacers, that way no painting involved and it will match.

Re: overflow bottle pics

Radiator cover came from LMC. The hoses are great if you don't have to remove them. The big ones arent so bad but the heater hose suck trying to get them back on if you have removed them.

Re: overflow bottle pics

The spacers are made from that tube that comes out of the wall that you screw you shower head to. used a pipe cutter to cut two sections out of it work like a charm.

Re: overflow bottle pics

i got that part, but what is the main overflow reservoir tube? is it a store-bought overflow, or is it some sort of modified piece of plumbing? i haven't seen one of those in a catalog yet...
