Re: Coolant overflow bottle ideas
Just keep in mind that I had to remove the battery tray (kind of a PITA) and then use an L bracket as a base for the tank.
The silicon hose I used is really nice. It's flexible and is fairly thick-walled. Rated to 460 degrees F. 3/8" ID x 9/16" OD. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...e?ie=UTF8&th=1 Ended up using some Dorman 13400 hose clamps I found at Autozone, but they tend to deform because they are not spring steel, like OE. Pretty sad, this imported crap.
