Don,

On my car there is a small tank, where the pressure cap fits, between the
engine and the radiator but it's never been fitted with an overflow bottle,
just a tube for venting to the ground. I've actually looked at the
possibility of fitting one but the pressure cap cannot be replaced by the
two stage type, which would provide the expansion capability, because the
orifice isn't engineered to accommodate one. In my case, a new port (or
whatever you call the part to which the pressure cap fits) could be welded
in place of the old one but that would also entail getting the tank
rechromed as well (I also have a chromed rocker cover and pulleys). I never
considered the refinement worth the cost. 

I wasn't aware that any of the earlier car were originally fitted with
expansion bottles, if that's what you are referring to.

Hi all,

Does anyone know what make/model of car the original radiator 
overflow bottle came from??  Mine is missing and I'd like to find 
something close to original.  Thanks.
