ok I know this has been done before but I wanted to add mine, its an easy setup and looks great I think! got the template which is a perfect fit! then just aligned it till I got it where it need to be then cut my hole, I had to dril and tap a hole for the bolt that secures the tank.

 

few more!

 

Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

 

Look about right! Nice job.

I had trouble with my one bolt stripping out of the sheet metal. If I were to do it on my current car, I would probably be tack welding a nut on the underside, or using threaded body clips at the least. You might get yours positioned better though...I was flying blind when I did mine the first time haha.

I still like the idea of the dual tanks. Coolant/washer fluid in place of the battery, and sticking the battery somewhere else... but that 4th gen set up is nice and clean!!!

J.

 

awesome ill be doing this in a week. where did you get the template for marking/cutting?

 

 

Very nice work. here is mine. i wanted my fill neck a little more hidden in the wheel well.

My 4th gen coolant tank is tucked in the passenger fender, I'll get a picture tomorrow.

 

Does anyone have pics of the 4th gen washer fluid bottle relocated? If so could you send me some or post pics? I'm concerned of the plastics that are in the nose. If removing will cause over heating issues! Thanks guys!

 

Well here's mine. The only ducting left is the bottom piece. No overheating issues at all.

Bottom piece (arrow)

 

Per bholmes request. I mounted mine from below, no hole required

 

thanks looks good!. Ive.cut.a.hole already!

 

Either method works well. I just dont dig making unnecessary holes/cutting if i can avoid it. Some think mine hangs too low, but i did mine back in 05 and its yet to be torn off bottom out anywhere.

 

Can you see it hanging down under the FX? I like your method as my battery try is new.

 

Not really, You can see it if you squat partways. It goes just about to the bottom of the GFX.

 

Thank you. I'm looking at other options too. I like how it's hidden. I would like to find a combo tank I can hide but not in front of the radiator.

 

Someone here has done that. There are other threads on these 4th gen pieces. I think they used a ford part, but they didnt hide it IIRC.

 

For anyone interested, I made a pretty good video on installing a 4th gen Coolant overflow.
