Mine cracked and I need a new one. I'm thinking about getting an aftermarket piece or making a custom one. Anybody have any ideas or good pics of their set up?

Looks good, but I'm not feeling the price tag. $100 for a coolant tank seems crazy.

That thing would be perfect if it had a sight glass.

My Canton has 2 brass elbow fittings with a clear tube running the length of the tank.

How full do you keep that when the car is cold?

I keep it about 1/2 full. When it's hot and coolant expanded, it comes up to about 3/4.

Not too bad. Do you have any kind of a parts list/write up for it?
