I saw a guy at the local drag strip (Sears Point) pass tech inspection by running his overflow tube into a Budweiser can he had ty-wrapped to the radiator. He said it is a good reason to have a beer...

That is a great idea. I had not thought of doing that and matching reservoirs would look pretty cool!

In that case I would use a Foster's can. Much better result. The overflow function would be superior, too.

Here is a pic of the 2x17s they are mounted not to the side but just behind the rad. You can see just how far down they go and there isn't a free mm between them and the rails. I think replacing these with the 3x10s would be perfect for us. The lighting in the garage sucked for taking photos.

I mounted both of mine on the ds apron. Here is a pic if anyone is interested. Adrenolin that is going to be one sweet looking engine compartment. That purple is a beautiful color.
