Hi guys, I'm building a model M4 speedster (1992) I
just went to install the coolant recovery bottle only
to find that I don't have one, I have all the bracket
material but no bottle. Can anyone give me details on
the bottle as to size etc. I have no idea where to
purchase it, so if you know who would sell them that
would be a great help. Thanks once again for your
help, Don

Hi Don,

The bottle is about 8 oz size with a tube that extends to the bottom of the
bottle. It looks like the chemistry lab bottle that is called a washing
bottle. The nozzle is trimmed and the tubing is attached to that.

With that said, and I don't know other's experience, mine us usually "full"
with a little less than 1" of cooolent in it. My plan is to eventually put
a larger capacity bottle in it so I just don't blow all the coolant out when
the engine warms up. Apparently in my system, the 6 or 7 oz. of available
capacity above the cold engine level is insufficient to conatain the
expanded coolant when hot. My typical coolant temp runs right at 180
degrees.

Unless others don't have my problem, my suggestion would be to use a larger
bottle. As a thought, a large size model airplane fuel tank might work.

Don,
Check with Lockwood Aviation Supply: www.lockwood-aviation.com

They have a bottle, p/n 922 315 that is square, about 16 oz, with a tube
fitting at the bottom.

I used a Pepto-Bismol bottle. (The triangular shape fit in the cubby hole next to the oil tank.) Drilled a hole in the plastic cap, added a gromet and installed a plastic tube. Has worked well for 10 years/600 hours.
