radiator coolant overflow container placement
I see pics of engines bays with clean looking overflow jugs for coolant tucked in high on the inner fender.
I ordered a coolant overflow jug from LMC. got this massive square jug with a metal basket cage looking thing.....where the heck would that fit? I see some nice applications on this site. Where do you guys get your coolant jugs and brackets? Thanks |

Re: radiator coolant overflow container placement
I am pleased with this aftermarket overflow container
It is a Dorman 603-001 Coolant Reservoir Bottle, with a Dorman HELP! 82590 Coolant Cap added separately. Two holes drilled in the support frame on the radiator support (Right side top, and the middle bottom hole), and one standoff block of about 1" or so for the left top hole, with a bolt and nut going through the standoff and the radiator support there.

Here's mine. This is a 69 Camaro windshield washer jug and bracket.

Re: radiator coolant overflow container placement
I used a '72 windshield washer container and bracket that I bought right here on the parts board. It looks exactly like the washer container I already had because it is! I mounted it on the vertical riser on the core support. It's in the background on the pic...
