Radiator Overflow tank - Aussie V8 | Holden - Ford

Bart15 · 06-09-2008, 06:28 PM

I need to fir a radiator overflow tank to my LH torana. Would love to hear where other's have mounted it and what sort of tank you used? Don't like the size of the A9X tank so looking for alternatives.

Id go a custom alloy one personally.

However if you want something cheaper and simple id go one of the cyclinder style ones (click ebay link) Radiator Overflow - Ebay. Something like that bolts next to or under your radiator, im not sure if it would fit your application but you could look at something like that maybe if your keen on keeping the strut towers clean.

I've got a Toyota Corona one on my Torry, mounted down low so it's out of sight

I have a cheap plastic jobbie from Supercheap, mounted low on the passenger side, it fits nicely and is mostly out of sight. Its a little on the small side but if I run it a bit under quarter full when cold I don't lose any fluid.

Hi 76LXhatch. Any chance you could post a photo up as this sounds like the solution I need?

Did around 1,000kms yesterday so its a bit dirty but this should give you the idea:

Thanks. I have one of those tanks lying around the garage so I am thinking I will go with the same setup.
