Kurbycar32 Posted November 9, 2016 Share #16 Posted November 9, 2016 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted November 10, 2016 Share #17 Posted November 10, 2016 Alan, On what years would those bottles have been used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th-Z Posted November 10, 2016 Share #18 Posted November 10, 2016 Those bottles would have been used on 1970 - 1973 model years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patcon Posted November 11, 2016 Share #20 Posted November 11, 2016 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 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
