Its not rocket science. Run the recovery line from the header tank to the
recovery container using the vent hose on the tank under the cap.
Replace the cap with a recovery cap. And you're done except for
figuring out where to put the recovery container. I used a Tudor
washer bottle, basket and bracket from an Alpine. I placed
the bottle on the frame next to the steering extension. This way
the weight was supported by the frame. Worked great. The hose
from the header tank was too big for the nipple on the Tudor bottle.
So I cemented a right size hose inside the larger one.
When the beast was hot you could see the bottle file up. When it'
colled off the fluid would be sucked back into the header tank.
The early Tigers came with 9 lb caps. The later Tigers came with 13 lb
caps. Use the right recovery cap. The heater core is your main worry.
If its set for 9 lbs you may want to reinforce it. CAT had a tech tip
on this.
