The Pipe just under the cap is the overflow and the next one down is the return
Pipe, this pipe will go almost to the bottom inside the tank

A suitable returning cap can be bought from any decent rad shop (or parts supplier) for around $10. A used 500 ml brake fluid container makes an excellent tank - at nil cost.

Most modern cars use an unpressurised overflow tank these days.

Cheers, Ian

Does anyone have one of these going spare with bracket or know anywhere that sells them... $160 seems a bit steep?!
