Default Radiator Catch can

What are the cool guys doing about a radiator catch can? Couple of pics would be great. I am that close to lighting the candle. Thanks

I think you should just fire that engine up -- most of us only use a catch-can for the track. Asphalt absorbs coolant well enough and whatever it doesn't the neighborhood cats and dogs will lap up....

Every speed shop in the world sells a variety of them. Mine is from Moroso and mounts on the front of the passenger side foot box. Create a closed loop system and you will be happier!

I think they're "replica" STP cans...

Here's a thread that talks about overflow or catch tanks. I used the Moon overflow tank because I like the capacity and the period look.

over flow tank?

Isn't the STP can "Original"?

Most of the aftermarket cans can be converted to a coolant recovery system by feeding the water from the cap to the bottom of the can and venting the top to atmosphere.

Guess Patrick is going for the broke racer look.

Very 60's...

I think most tracks require at least 1qt catch can, so the STP can may not pass tech.
