Expansion Tank

[Geoff Ryall-Harvey]

Thought this might be of general interest. It's a coolant expansion tank for my Pontiac powered Model T Ford. I made it using a fuel pressure reservoir off a Huey (Vietnam era Hughes Corporation helicopter) bought for pennies on eBay.

It mounts like a Moon tank in front of the radiator on the spring hanger for the front suicide axle using airframe clevis joints from a DC3. It's fitted with a Stant cap and a direct temp gauge.
