All you have to do is remove your coolant catch can and install a smaller one elsewhere. And make a bracket like I did w/ stainless hardware.

Here are some pics...









Finished product...







My new catch can, polished aluminum...





Hope this helps...

I remember seeing that setup. Didn't you buy that on ebay? What vehicle was that resevoir designed for, or would you happen to know if their was a part number on that resevoir.

Yeah but does Phenolic smell good when being cut, theirs something to be said when cutting wood and shaping it. I can't remember what type of exotic spanish wood we used years ago in my senior wood shop class, but it smelled amazing.

DO WANT!!!!

If that stuff disappears in the middle of the night, I didn't do it...

never if you dont break any of the end caps or fins off.

Edit: Curious what that weighs as well...

9 lbs 9 oz

The cores not replacable while its in the car. The core is welded to the removable plate and uses o-rings to seal where the inlet and outlet leaves the core.

Their is way less of a possibility of having a vac leak because theirs really only 4 small spots for that to really occur. This design also allows you to maximize the core thickness while packaging into 2.125 inch plate. The core is thicker than this because it drops into the intake manifold.
