hUmBoLdT_HooV Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Stock overflow bottle in the stock location. In my car that is where my window washer fluid bottle is mounted. 2 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 In my car that is where my window washer fluid bottle is mounted. 69s dont have an overflow bottle. You can pick up universal kits that look OEM as well and mount them with the provided bracketry. Quote Link to comment
hUmBoLdT_HooV Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Thats what I figured. My car was grandma stock when I got it. Im leaning pretty strongly towards the rat style catch can. Just got to find the appropriate alcohol haha. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I use a sake bottle but no pic atm Quote Link to comment
EricJB Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Old pic, but the can is the same. Homemade aluminum tubing with ends welded on and valve at the bottom. Really like the roadster one. [/url Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Stock overflow bottle in the stock location. That is the wiper washer fluid location. Stock just drained to the ground. In fact that looks like the wiper washer bottle.... 1 Quote Link to comment
Dawa Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 id advise against using a glass container, although im sure 'a lot' of people have gotten away with doing it without incident. coolest thing i could think of that was something i like/drank is jack daniel's 'whiskey & cola" aluminum bottle never installed it so its just been draining to... :( Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I bottle of 10cane or a cheap bong 1 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 id advise against using a glass container, although im sure 'a lot' of people have gotten away with doing it without incident. I had a friend with a rat-rod truck that used a Jack Daniels bottle. One cold evening his radiator overflowed into the cold glass bottle shattering it. Shredded a belt and the two passenger tires :( 1 Quote Link to comment

72240z Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Thats why I use a sake bottle, its shrink wrapped in plastic. Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I use a Kirin Ichiban can held in place with a fire extinguisher holder turned upside down and secured with the black ABS strap meant to hold the Kidd extinguisher. See it at the Queen Mary in September. 1 Quote Link to comment
Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Aluminum catch can that used to be on a race car or something from the look of it. Digging in the parts shed and found it there, called it fair game... 1 Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 82-83 Sentra over flow bottle from rock auto. passenger side of the rad.........on a 1200 tho. Sorry, haven't got that far on the dime yet Quote Link to comment
Boaty Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 That's because that *is* the Wiper Washer bottle location.And that's because it *is* THE wiper washer bottle.Confirmed that there were no overflow tanks on a 510, drained directly back to mother earth.I'm using some bottle out of a JY car I found. I believe it was a toyota, could even be a Nissan. Has similar mounting as the stock washer bottle.I am actually going to use a 620 overflow bottle with a modified bracket, or, I'll end up using an aftermarket aluminum one. Depends on whatever I get around to making/buying first. Stock overflow bottle in the stock location. That is the wiper washer fluid location. Stock just drained to the ground. In fact that looks like the wiper washer bottle.... Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Now, has anyone found a cap to siphon the overflow back in? Quote Link to comment
