Heh that actually scared the hell out of me one time. I had though my my radiator had blown a hole in it and the antifreeze had spilled onto the ground. Only when I opened the hood I realized it was just a hose that let any overflow run out onto the ground.Mine was separated at the neck as well, The Radiator shop had to replace the neck, not a big deal. The new neck had the nipple in it. Then I just ran a new hose down to my overflow tank.
Originally it would have just went down the side of the radiator and dumped under the car.
CSPIDY, Just our of curiosity where does one mount an overflow tank? And who makes it? I didn't see one offered at CASCO. I presume it has ears on the side to mount using the radiator mounting bolts so no new holes are required? I'm tired of my bird peeing on the floor of its cage after a drive.Mine was separated at the neck as well, The Radiator shop had to replace the neck, not a big deal.

I'm a conscientious objector to drilling on otherwise correct antique cars too. Since it's a snowy night in Colordo with not much else to do I decided to fabricate a bracket using existing holes. I used a 26 ga sheetmetal, and I'm not an expert metal worker, but here's the finished installation. I used 3 of the 4 bolts on the shroud on the right upper side of the radiator. No new holes.Did you have to drill new holes for this tank, I suspect so. My consentience won't allow me to drill virgin metal on old gals!
