Radiator overflow inside front bar???

[DNYALL]

I was just wondering if there would be any problems with re-locating the radiator overflow bottle inside the front bar so as not to be seen. I know it would make it a pain for maintenance i am willing to do it.

Will there be any problems with the height of the bottle. I mean, atm it sits slighty higher than the radiator itself, but if i move it into the front bar it will obviously sit lower than the radiator inlet. Will this cause any sort of problems or will it still do it's job no worries.

I am pretty sure i have seen it done. I have a few pictures where the rad overflow tube runs down into the front bar. And also i think this guy has done it below, not sure wat it is in his front bar but kinda looks like one:

look at teh canister on the far left hand side. That is the radiator overflow container.

BTW i dont think there would be any issue with the overflow bottle inside the bumper area - jsut remember it needs a long snorkel to the bottom to pick up fluid and needs to be the same displacement as the stock one its replacing !

lol whoops, blended in with the car body :p

But yeah i was just gonna put the stock factory overflow bottle in the front bar. All the aftermarket ones i could find were all dodgy anyway.

Thanks man. :thumbsup:
