Here's what I did.  The bottle and holder are used originals from a Stag<br>
(same as TR6).  TRF has them new, $28 for the bottle, cap & holder.  The<br>
holder is held to the inner wing with 1/4" bolts.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__imgur.com_P76PBYu&d=DwMDaQ&c=ZgVRmm3mf2P1-XDAyDsu4A&r=346MKQty4J9yevdUa9Fj_cT53y_74TwSRM-I7J2SFzs&m=Z0k2YwZFj0qNz-vgiBV8n2w76uCgirQDledkGTqcEWU&s=SjAKx0wNlpaGUzpCdbUGzblQ4G_fiF3qA-4ZDuqZBgo&e=" target="_blank">https://imgur.com/P76PBYu</a><br>
<br>
Not the easiest place to get to; but there is really no need to access the<br>
bottle.  I can do the initial fill through the radiator neck (by slowly<br>
filling it to the very top and waiting for coolant to run down the hose).<br>
And any excess (like when a leaking head gasket blows coolant out) will<br>
eventually run out the top.<br>
<br>
I can get it out with the apron on, by removing the horn, but I've not yet<br>
found a reason to do so.<br>
<br>
I also had to get the radiator fill neck replaced with a modern one, so I<br>
could use a recovery cap.  Never could get a stock type cap to hold vacuum,<br>
so it would suck coolant back into the engine.  I tried several caps, tried<br>
filling the space around the center rivet with RTV, and various rubber<br>
gaskets; but nothing worked for me.  The modern fill neck was under $20<br>
installed (as part of other radiator work).<br>
<br>
And a Stant "Lev-R-Vent" cap was only $8 or so.  I like being able to vent<br>
the system without having to loosen the cap and take a chance on it coming<br>
off all the way.  Wasn't a TR, but I once got a shower in scalding coolant<br>
on a cold winter day, when I didn't realize just how hot the engine was.<br>
Fortunately I was wearing glasses, so it didn't get in my eyes.  (TR<br>
content, we were trying to jump start a previous TR3A "barn find" with my 65<br>
Olds.  It would NOT start, so we got the bright idea of running hot coolant<br>
through the TR from the Olds.  Still wouldn't start!)<br>
