November 9, 20168 yr comment_506159 That jegs link is pretty much what i ordered. If you look closely the mounting tabs are in the center of the unit, not the edges. To squeeze it between the radiator tabs i used some basic standoffs.. I am extremely happy with the results Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/56464-over-flow-bottles/?&page=2#findComment-506159 Share on other sites More sharing options...

November 11, 20168 yr comment_506228 It's fascinating that they only did that on select models and didn't feel the need for it on the rest of the line Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/56464-over-flow-bottles/?&page=2#findComment-506228 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me a few years to find the one in my photos... Your best bet would be Yahoo Japan auctions, but they usually change hands for $$$$. If strict originality is not important then you might be able to find a similar setup (slightly different mounting bracket) on a full size sedan of a similar age, like a 130-series Cedric for example. A slightly left-field suggestion would be to look at the setup on a Triumph Stag (no, really...). A fairly similar bottle with a mounting bracket that can be modified to make it bolt into the same pre-drilled holes on the front of the radiator core support that the PS30/PS30-SB overflow bottle fits. Still available new from the major British car parts suppliers like Moss Motors. Just don't tell anyone where it came from...
