Aluminum Overflow Radiator Tank



Needed one of these and had the time & materials to make it so I said why not. I think it turned out pretty good. I still have to round off the edges and polish it. Enjoy!

Looks nice, but Id swap the copper plug on top for an actual cap like this

Using one on my fabricated intercooler tank and intercooler fill bottle (mid fuel rail) with good results

Not really, made cardboard templates, cut it out, hit it on the brake and welded it up
