One note on overflow bottles.
For a NON PRESSURIZED coolant recovery system to work there must be a seal=
between the very top of the radiator neck and the cap.
The hose for non pressurized systems connect to the radiator above the pres=
sure seal of the cap.
Many older caps have only a brass plate inside the top of the cap which wil=
l not seal effectively against the radiator neck preventing adequate low p=
ressure to develop in the upper portion of the neck to draw coolant back u=
p from the recovery tank.

You can use any kind of container (Stainless steel, brass, plastic, glass) =
providing it has a screw top that can be drilled to receive a tube from the=
radiator overflow. The position of the overflow tank is not important so y=
ou can fit it low down well out of sight. Make sure the the hose/tube from =
the radiator overflow ends about a quarter inch from the bottom of the cont=
ainer. Also drill a small vent hole in the top. Make sure the radiator cap =
seals airtight, which usually means that you have to make up a thin stiff r=
ubber/fibre washer between cap and radiator neck. Fully fill up the radiato=
r and fill up the container about half full. Check and fill up regularly af=
ter the first few trips.
