Aftermarket radiator reservoir? Is there such a thing. Maybe a DIY?
This may seem like a silly question.
Many of us have spent time trying to ‘clean-up’ our engine bays… tucking wires/lines, relocating parts, etc.
I’ve always hated my radiator reservoir. I’ve seen people relocate it inside the bumper-area. But have any of you guys seen anything aftermarket or even a DIY on the radiator reservoir thingy (tech term?) that are smaller or maybe a little more attractive (if not smaller).
Is the reservoir pretty-much just a container with a lid..? Is there anything special about them? Pressure? Or specific size? Could I just fab one up and go to town…? I guess I don’t know much about them

Look at Summitracing.com. You can get any number of tig welded aluminum tanks or plastic ones if that's more your speed. Some are as cheap as $10, some as expensive as $100.
Enjoy.
