I received the aluminum tank from the Buggy Manufacturer in Kansas. As per the valuable knowledge from the Newell Guru’s, the tank fit the original CRS Overflow tank bracket. The only modifications were new, stainless, mounting bolts.

As the overflow tank was always in the way for entrance into the DS engine bay, I was able to mount the original tank bracket on hinges, so I could swing the tank out of the way for engine maintenance or adding coolant. The top bolt slides through the mount bracket and is captured with a SS nut, lock washer, etc.

There will be photos as soon as I figure out how to post them.

           


I now have questions????

Should the CRS 7# radiator cap be replaced with a 12-15# cap? On very hot days, the system seems to burp and blow coolant out the expansion tank overflow vent. Seems as though, CRS maintained a slight pressure in their overflow tank as their plastic fill cap may have held a slight pressure and the black sight tube plug had leakage around the sides.

I read previous posts and their were mentions of 12-17# radiator caps for the DDEC 12.7L Detroit.

By now, yousens should have broken machinery so I don't have to. 

Thanks for your willingness to share.
