looks great. mine is on order - I ordered the one that takes the stock size cap (wanted to be able to use my Scott Drake cap). I'm powdercoating it blue before install - can't wait.

good luck with the cap part....id hate to be the bearer of bad news but i think that all the canton overflow tanks for our models are all made the same and if that is true, you will need a stock (standard) style 16 psi cap which is a push down and turn radiator cap....the s197 OEM cap is a venting screw on style cap and will not work on the canton...if you can, post a link up of the tank you ordered and have on its way so we can see....

as for me, i didnt find out until AFTER i installed it on the car that the OEM cap wouldnt work so i had to put tape over the spout and drive down to AutoZone and get a cap for it lol.....i was pretty upset since i had already fronted the money for a billet radiator cap cover for the OEM cap all to find out i couldnt use it....

it was very simple...it took me about 5 minutes to install, but it took me 3 of those 5 minutes to get the larger diameter hose off of the bottom of the stock tank because of those retarded a$$ clamps....
