cool, thanks, I have been looking for this too, any idea where I can get the bracket and cap. I have the container in my car, just missing the bracket and cap.

The Parts Place has them seperately.

20 bucks for the cap, 35 for the bracket and 39 for the correct radiator cap.
For another hundred bucks you can get the compete set-up from Fusick with the bottle and have an extra.

On my '71 it goes on the front of the driver's side fenderwell.
The holes should be there for it.
Does that NOS radiator overflow tank set-up you got go with your car too?

Your car should have a canister that the tank fits over. Post any research as the tanks were not common ...

Dif brackets a to b body ...

There's a lot more than a painted engine there.
Brackets and hoses and stuff are a whole 'nother deal.

My car comes first in any case, charity starts at home.

Yep..yep...yep.....

Go buy a booster and we'll learn you how to put it on.
Have to start somewhere, you have an equal right to get frustrated and skin your knuckles.

You are women hear you roar.
In post count numbers too big to ignore.

If you get hurt a little at least you'll be wise and have wisdom for your pain.

I would like to hear what you would call "The Prettiest One" when the wrench slips?

You crack me up!!!! I have a perfectly good booster already - just needs that beautiful Eastwood paint on it! You all just have to tell me how to take it off without getting brake fluid everywhere, paint it, and put it back on....and the brakes have to work when I'm done! That's the tricky part!

Believe me, I have roared!!!! I've skinned my knuckles many times, and cussed at my cars.... but not the Prettiest One yet. It's really gonna hurt my heart when I have to say "you piece of shi*"!!! LOL!
