Just run a Drop Line down to the ground and let it find it's level. run mostly LS stuff so no issues with pushing water.

 

You ain't right Beeno! HRP

 

Plastic Svedka vodka bottle zip tied to the radiator support with a hole for the hose in the lid. Lippy

Ribbed, magnum, large reservoir, safety sealed and lubricated.


Wait, what were we talking about?

 

Mine's nothing special. A piece of aluminum electrical conduit with end caps tigged in and the whole thing turned in a lathe. The compression fitting on top is drilled out so that the tube goes to the bottom making it a recovery system. I like to make stuff.

I used an old rectangular STP oil can in my old 40 coupe .... I have not yet come up with something for my avatar or my present project .... but there are some great ideas here ....

 

On my Model A, just use a store bought stainless and had it powder coated satin black so it wouldn't be so noticeable!

 

1927 graham nice job I took a while to spot the bottle,the way it should b

 

Is that an ashes urn In the top picture?

 

I just use one of the available tube types, cuz my Brother gave it to me
for a B-Day gift. I'm not sure that I need it, but with my Flathead I want
to have the system as full as possible. Seems to work OK for the last
several years.
I really like the canteen idea, but haven't come across one yet. I'm not fond
of the glass items. Afraid it might break.

 

Moon the only way to go

It is OT but I am OT anyway write?

One of the local boys inherited his dad's old bike and had an urn machined that bolts to his risers. he carries his dad on every ride. I thin its a little creepy but makes him happy.

Back on topic, I got a mini keg from Super Bowl XL that I may convert to a catch can one of these days.
