I would like to know if the designer of the Canton overflow tank actually used a 94-95 GT to make this thing. The fit on this thing is crap. The tab at the top is too far back and the water level tube elbows hit some sensor box on the bracket. Needless to say, this simple swap is not so simple now. Anyone else have one of these and have had the same problems?

i ditched my factory overflow altogether and run a small moroso catch can that i mounted to the radiator support in front of the radiator, hidden underneath the cover that covers the radiator/headlight panel. that factory overflow is a complete eyesore.

Same problem here. I still need to send mine back to canton with my old overflow bottle. They said they would make a custom one for me.

ok, I might just have to give these guys a call and see whats up. Just sorda enough to piss you off when you expect a company with that kind of name (and price) to have a product that fits so s****y.

I got mine from someone who could not get it to fit. I removed 1" from the front side, radiator side. Cut with a band saw and removed 1", then had it welded back together. Moved the mounting tab to be able to fit also. I have a aftermarket radiator, Ron Davis and a Vortech and it fits NOW with no issues. Luckly I did not pay full price on it.

i got a canton and too was not very happy. if you are keeping the stock bracket you need to remove the level tube and plug the holes. you also need to buy a new line to run from it. the fit was ok at best but it sits ok if you mess with it.

Give Canton a call their R&D Department was very helpful last time I had a problem. The actually listen to their customers
