the 2 i have selected can you let me know if they would be ok for a overflow catch tank for the radiator?

i assumed that had to be pressured & have the right cap?

Using an oil catch tank on a road car is not really a very good idea. The stock breather system is much better but might not look as pretty.
Just ask Drmini. :wink:

Catch tanks can give you a smelly engine bay (maybe interior too) but a proper working PCV system does not.
I'm now running a new Toyota spec valve(PCV-13) to replace the 40 year old Smiths one that Cooper S and 1100S used. $27 from Repco. :P
