Thinking of Using Rad Overflow Tank

Im thinking of going with the rad overflow tank for alky. The tank that Ive been using is a metal tank that although seems fairly well made, doesnt hold as much as I would like. It came with a Bowling Green Customs alky kit that I bought about 5 years ago. For those of you who have gone this route what are you using for the new overflow? If you can tell me how/where you mounted it that would be great. Pics would be great too, if you have.

Also, I am not planning on moving the pump from the driver's side. If I read correctly in another thread, the instructions on properly running the feed line this way is in the DIY alky instructions, right?

Thanks.

I didnt use the overflow tank from my car, i used a late model Chevy tank and mounted it under the charcoal canister.

Last install I did I used the radiator overflow and mounted the pump behind the passenger headlight. Short lengths of hoses.

You can pick up universal overflow bottles at local parts stores. I have my battery in the trunk so no problem mounting in that position. A friend of mine put his over flow in front of the core support and behind the passenger side headlites.

Just installing an overflow reservoir I bought at Autozone for 6.99, it will mount perfectly inbetween battery and opening for headlights (just in front) of where razor mounted his pump. The tank is a little cheezy and only 2.5 qt capacity so hoping it is large enough to do the job.
