50resto does sell them. Mine is gone and I'm just going to get one from a local junkyard for $10. I've never been to a junkyard. It'll be fun!

Canton aluminium is a nice piece. It's about 100 bucks but its not gonna crack on you.

I run a summit overflow bottle. It just looks like a red soda bottle. All you need to do is swap the fittings so the coolant line goes into the bottom so it's a recirculating bottle. Cheap @ $15 or so

Build your own out of 3" PVC pipe from Ace hardware & Home depot.

Top & bottom


Side view - notice the nice red 2" screw in cap for the filler .


bottle mounted on fan rails.


Email or PM me for dimensions.

You can also just go out a wrecker and pull something off that will work. Look on older cars/trucks and see what you can find. I found this one for cheap and it works awesome.
