Here's a couple pics of an original MKII recovery tank. Unfortunately, someone has modified this tank by cutting off the lower part of the mounting bracket and changing the side tube hose flange. Don't know why but it is what it is. Look close and you'll notice that the tank has not been punched for a radiator hose fitting as it would have been on a Lincoln. I believe that the tanks were made for Cobra's and not just a modified Lincoln tank.

Note the orientation of the cap flange. Also, on some of the reproduction tanks for the Lincoln, I notice that the indentation on top of the tank where the cap flange solders on is square while this one is curved. The original Lincoln tanks that I've seen are also curved.
