ERA 427 owners- for those of you that have installed an coolant overflow can for your 427 can u tell of show me how you did it. I have tried various methods but I'm looking for a more permanent solution. My thought was to mount something on the driver side over by where the upper radiator tube goes down from the expansion tank but nothing really fits so I'd like your ideas.. I have bought a few tanks but nothing seems to work.

Tempered glass, securely safety wired. If you squirt out more than this bottle holds, you've got a problem.

Thanks Patrick - I took the time to search the topic and saw your pic on an earlier thread. I have used various zip tied bottles but im trying to find a permanent (and better looking) solution. I am going to call Doug this morning and pic his brain. Perhaps SSSSammy too.

Understood. Please post your results as I'm always open to an upgrade. The only real reason I even have it is because Ellie spends a good bit of time under the car with me and I am particularly vigilant for even the smallest drop of antifreeze, as she has a tendency to "scavenge."

I can appreciate that...three dogs and each time one goes in the garage- the mrs. gets puckered b/c the cobra tends to piss on the floor before bed time
