Owain,
The standard plastic overflow bottles work fine IF YOU HAVE A PRESSURE
CAP that has a relief valve. Very common, and Stant makes one called
"Lev-R-Release" that lets you release pent up pressure without boiling
up all over you without the Lever. Ask me how I know (: -(
The local Pep Boys has the overflow bottles in half-quart size. I was
able to mount one inside the engine compartment, AND another in the left
fender well in parallel.
