Innovative Radiator Overflow--Watcha got?
 

Would like to see some ratty excuses for a radiator overflow. Bottles, cans, jugs (gigity). Anything but lame white plastic out of a late model sedan. I've got nothing now except for the asphalt and I'm not as ingenious as most of you are. Thanks!

One of the truck mags. had a picture of a guy that used an aluminum drink bottle (the kind used by back packers) looked good polished.

I was thinking about using a 22oz bottle of NOS energy drink

I've seen a small brass fire extinguisher bottle that looked great....

I just see a rat rod this weekend at a car show that had an empty bottle of "Jack Daniels" it was bigger than a liter and it looked great..

Re: Innovative Radiator Overflow--Watcha got?
 

I don't drink Jack... but hope it was plastic and not glass...

Re: Innovative Radiator Overflow--Watcha got?
 

I've seen glass on a few rides. Bad idea?

Is one required? I don't think my 68 had one..

Re: Innovative Radiator Overflow--Watcha got?
 

Put it in the "a good idea to have it" category. 68s had a rubber hose clipped to the side of the rad to dump the overflow on the ground. In case you're not at the strip, you can create your own water box. :lol:

Re: Innovative Radiator Overflow--Watcha got?
 

I have no idea if it's required or not. I would suspect with all the hippies and tree huggers, that it's a law in some states. Not a bad idea I suspect.

DT1.....too innovative.

Re: Innovative Radiator Overflow--Watcha got?

Someone should tell Toyota they're putting the engines in there sideways! Just kidding. Where did you get that overflow? Is it glass or clear plastic?

Re: Innovative Radiator Overflow--Watcha got?
 

They are required for racing per NHRA rules.

Re: Innovative Radiator Overflow--Watcha got?

i used a jose cuervo tequila bottle mounted to the center grill/ hood hinge support. i dont have a pic right now, but is unique i guess, haha! its been there for about 4 years now it has not ever broke or any thing

Re: Innovative Radiator Overflow--Watcha got?
 

Some people use a window washer bottle mounted on the opposite side of the original one.

Most auto parts stores have a large capacity universal one that can be used, it is not unique, but will work.

There was a thread on here a year or so about this subject.

AFCO sells a nice sized aluminum recovery tank. I have one on my '72 GMC 4X4.
