[Tigers] coolant recovery

[e.coiner e.coiner]

I mounted an over flow bottle in the same location.

My choice was a rectangular Nalgene bottle.

I drilled 1 hole in each "shoulder" of the bottle. Hose from Sunbeam overflow went to the bottom of bottle. 

Other hose stuck in just an inch or so and went down to the bottom of the car.  Been working great for nigh on 20 years.

I would like to come up with a different solution that I can mount to the inner fender in front of the expansion tank.  I'm concerned that the plastic washer bottle in its current location up against the engine might suffer from the heat.  Moss Motors has an overflow bottle for a Triumph that wouldn't look out of place in the Tiger, https://mossmotors.com/overflow-bottle-1.  But the bracket is kind of pricey.  I might try to make my own bracket.
