i can personally attest to the fact that there is room for an expansion bottle above the radiator in a vanagon. in initial engine conversion cooling system design i sought to have a over flow tank above the top of the radiator. so off to the junk yard i went and i came home with several tanks including that cute cylinder shaped volvo tank ;). in the end i discovered that the best fit was the old vanagon over flow tank. i currently have that tank mounted adjacent to the radiator bleed orifice. i it is a close fit, but it fits without any modifications. in its mounted position the top of the radiator is about midway on the height of the over flow tank. jonathan On Mon, 8 Mar 2004, George Goff wrote: > In a message dated 3/8/04 9:36:47 AM, gull@GULL.US writes: > > << The technical problem is there's no room for an expansion bottle above the > radiator in the Vanagon. ;) > > David Brodbeck, N8SRE >> > > Finally, the plain and simple truth! > > George > |
