[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16592662, member: 70025"] Okay on Sunday I decided to take a break from wiring. Well, sort of. You'll see what I'm talking about LOL. I decided to relocate my overflow tank/bottle. Now some of you may thing this is inconvenient, but I'm only using this as an overflow to catch any coolant and to keep it out of the engine bay and off my new paint. I also checked to make sure it would not interfere with my suspension or tire. When it gets full there is a drain plug on the bottom. Just need to go under the fender and drain it into a plastic jug or something. This way no antifreeze gets on the pain in my engine bay. Assessing the situation to see where to mount the overflow tank/bottle. [ATTACH=full]1694153[/ATTACH] Found a suitable location. I was going to try and just weld this extension on, but it was too flimsy by itself. [ATTACH=full]1694154[/ATTACH] So, I mounted a supporting plate. I rounded it off to take off the sharp corner. It's nice and strong now. [ATTACH=full]1694155[/ATTACH] Got my overflow tank/bottle mounted up. I used my jack to compress the suspension to the point I was lifting the car off the jack stands. Plenty of clearance. [ATTACH=full]1694156[/ATTACH] Close up so you can really see how much clearance there is. The wheel was actually turned in when I took this picture. [ATTACH=full]1694157[/ATTACH] Routing of the overflow hose. [ATTACH=full]1694158[/ATTACH] This doesn't look great, but remember I'm going to have a radiator cover made. So, this will be covered up.
