Chrome overflow resevoir

[GRAMPY]

Takes up space and disrupts air flow mainly. It is supposed to hold overflow coolant from your radiator

Thanks Tex----- Could it be binned??? I really don't see the need fer it...?

I wouldn't. Assuming your cooling system is working properly there is fluid that moves between the bottle and the radiator. The stock ones are butt ugly though

Grampy it should be kept but any container that will be ok with heat let's say same heat as a mug of tea and about the same size will do you ,just need the pipe from just under the rad cap to be under the water level and a vent higher than the level so you don't form a vacuum when the coolent gets sucked back into the rad .mount it where you want/convenient, I posted a pic of mine earlier in this post .

I've seen several photos on here with the K&N mods and a lot of them show a chrome overflow bottle in the picture. Does anyone know who makes those, part number, etc? Planning on putting the filters on and can't stand the ugly plastic one (hell, can't even see through it anyway!)
Thanks!

This is pretty much the one I went with http://m.summitracing.com/parts/mio-mmocc-rb .

But if you just search radiator or oil overflow can on Amazon or eBay you'll find plenty to choose from.

I wonder if I could make a old WW1 37mm round work? I don't see why not, other than the length.
