This is a re-post from another site i was on. Just thought that maybe someone else could use the info here. so i decided to make a DIY thread for this and share it with you all special thanks to jive13

so i am replacing cooling system. already picked up the AL radiator, new universal metal flex radiator hoses, and 2 12 inch fans. just need a new coolant overflow tank. but i can find any cheaper than 50$ so i figured i would make my own. using stuff i had laying around the shop. going to make a step by step if anyone else wants to make there own.

this is what i wanted but don't want to pay so much for.


here are all the parts that you will need. Just some 3in pvc pluming parts (cap and reducer) some brass 1/4 fittings. PCV cache (for lid) clear hose and clamps.


-First thing i did was cut a 2in length piece out of some 3in pipe


-Then i primer and glued the cap cut off and reducer


-Glue the cap to one end of the 3in pipe (the 2in cut off) then the reducer


-Then i cut a 1in length 2in diameter pipe to go into the top of the reducer


-Drilled a hole and placed a brass fitting to run a hose from the radiator to the tank


-Used 2 90 bends and 2 female adapters to make the side meter tube


-This is everything set up. still got to glue the side meter on and bondo over the lip in the middle


-Then painted and clear coated it. (paint it with the color you want it to be)


-The finished product and ready for installation



-Make sure you test it before installing. so i did a water test no leaks and the meter on the side works perfect
