Like the title states, Im looking for an aluminum radiator overflow can. I checked into a Forge can, but a little toooo spendy for me....$250.00. Is there a diffrent brand available at a more reasonable price? Has anybody tried using a universal type? (I may go that route.) Im looking around for a aluminum can because I'm getting ready to install a Alta Turbo kit and after looking at some pics, the turbo/turbo down pipe looks to be a little close to the plastic overflow bottle. The kit comes with heat tape to put on the overflow bottle, but thought an aluminum can would look better and also to be on the safe side.
Thanks guys....

 

and the Canton is the least expensive.

Thanks.....

 

Canton is priced the best at $107.50 but get ya with the 30lb pressure cap @ $26.25, but its still cheaper then the Forge. (Forge looks better though.) Do any of you have this Canton can? It would be nice to see what it looks like mounted in the MINI engine bay.

 

but the price difference has to make you think... Personally, I like the look of the others better, but the price would keep me away. I found these a few days ago searching because I think mine is leaking again, and Gary thought that the stocker looked so bad it messed up the clean engine bay...

Problem with the generics is that it's hard to find one that will fit into the space available.

check my gallery to see the can in my mini. now if they would only make a matching one for the brake reservoir.
