I have this really cool stainless coolant overflow tank I would like to install.
It is however, very tall at 21", and it is 2" across plus the brackets.
The best location I can see is right in front of the edge of the radiator by the battery on the passenger side where it won't be on top of my Air conditioning lines, but that makes the overflow line fairly long. As small as the line is I think that is okay, but if someone has a reason not to do it this way, I'd welcome the knowledge.
I would drill a small hole thru the front valance to let the long nipple drop thru. This would make the tank accessible without getting in the way of anything.
Alternately I could move the horn of the driver side front inner fender and cut thru it with a hole saw to bring it up thru the fender, but I am not digging that.
