[Healeys] Coolant recovery system

[Len and/or Marge Hartnett]

Steve:  I have had a coolant recovery system in my BJ8 for years.  It is 
located in the triangular shaped vacant space above and in front of the 
passenger foot well in the engine compartment (where the master cylinders 
would be on a right-hand drive car).  Check O'-Reilly (or Kragen - same 
company now) for Coolant Recovery Tank (Universal).  Or, look for Part No. 
BVR4, Interdynamics Coolant Recovery System.  $12.49.  It is a square 
plastic bottle and comes with plastic hose.  For an MG Midget, there is a 
flatter bottle, Model MCR3, narrower container in rectangular design, $8.99.
