PS: Is there enough of a recess for the thermostat to fit? |
Yes, there is a recess machined into the back of the neck on the tank that accepts a standard thermostat.

David-Have you considered making a billet coolant overflow tank that would look at home in the engine compartment and would be track day compliant? Maybe something that would look similar to the hydraulic cans but larger.

I have the Jamo Special from Summit and I can't get over the the hose clamps. It is functional, but not as aesthetically pleasing as it could be. I know you guys could fab a trick tank that both the BB and SB guys would love.

There is an Allah...only three years!!!
Ok...same or slightly larger diameter as the reservoir tanks, just longer. Petcock at the bottom and a tube so we can attach a rubber line that will let it drain out below the frame (buy a cheap plastic Summitt one like JJ and I use and you'll see).
The top can be a threaded cap, but with a fitting to accept the line from the expansion tank.
Use the same mounting setup...we can either put it next to the reservoirs or on the passenger side (my expansion tank has the cap/pverflow fitting on that side...don't ask me why, you installed it just to make me feel special I guess, and no, I haven't installed that shiney sucker you sent me cuz I'm lazy).
Don't get fancy...KISS!!!
Feel free to etch "Jamo Dump" on the side.
Bite me.

Do you all want something like this that is welded, or do you want a billet part?

Personally, I like the looks of a fabed one vs a billet one. I'd want it simple looking too.
I wouldn't want it to be polished either because I like vintage/comp look stuff.
That's just me though.

I prefer the billet look as it would match the brake/clutch cans as well as the billet surge tank.

We are running into a volume and space problem. Still thinking on this one. It is not as easy as we first thought.

I was at the Miller Motorsports Museum on Tuesday and one of the Comp 427's has a tank (painted plastic bottle) mounted in about the same place as the Jamo Special (on the top of the triangular cross member, passenger side). A billet tank with a tube mount (and a slot for the brake line) might be a good compromise.

David the ones you pointed out as examples are only 24 oz. Don't most tracks require a one quart capacity?
I say match it to the reserviors.

We are thinking about that location right now. It looks like the only place it is going to fit.

Yes, they do need to be 1 quart and that is what is causing us so many challenges right now.

I'm glad you like it.
The poll above is quite interesting. We have sold way more of these than people who voted against it. I wonder why they don't want it??? Maybe if they saw it in real life they would change their mind.

How about the passenger fenderwell over the exhaust? Still somewhat visible but out of the way.
