Which doesn't work on tracks any more. I ran mine into an empty coke bottle that I held in with a tie wrap. It did spit a little and sucked it right back in.

I used a Gatorade bottle for awhile, until I was told it had to BOLTED to the car, not tie wrapped and duct tapped....

You can buy a $10 1-quart catch can from summit, and mount it in the engine compartment. I epoxied a plastic hose from the top fitting down to the bottom of the catch tank so as the engine cools, it will such the coolant back.

You can see the white catch can mounted on the rear of the driver's inner fender, but not the top of it, just to the left of the far left black clutch reservoir container.

The guy that originally built my car used a transparant plastic bottle and carrier like you would use for drinking water on a mountain bicycle. It is mounted behind the radiator low and just infront of the "X" brace at the front. I would have prefered that it was a bit larger (taller), but it works fine.
