[Tigers] expansion bottle

[Steve Laifman]

Gary W.,

The half-size bottles are a good deal easier to find a place for just in 
front of the overflow tank.  Adding another right next to it - but on 
the other side of the wheel well, is out-of-sight, yet gives you the 
capacity of a full size tank easily.  Only a nylon "T" bar is needed,  
and it won't overflow the smaller capacity tank.

Of course I attacked to engine cooling problem before, as related in the 
TigersUnited article "Cool it Buddy!":

as shown on page 2, fitting very cosily between the stock tank and just 
behind the front radiator brace.

Maybe it's "belts and suspenders", but it couldn't hurt!

Steve
