Default Wanted: Pictures with aftermarket coolant overflow tanks!!

I am in the process of getting my car finalized and didn't have any luck with the search fields. Can people post here some pictures with an aftermarket coolant overflow tanks? I am looking at some of the round stainless or aluminum ones that Summit sells, but wanted to get an idea of what they will look like. Better yet if the cars are 2nd Gen's

Thanks,
Ryan

Sorry, no second gen, this is a generic (Jeg's?) can to the left of a dual-pass radiator...

I welded a bracket to a stainless steel water bottle and bolted that to my fan shroud. Looks sanitary and it sure beats paying the high prices they want for "billet" aftermarket units.

I have used those 1L Plastic Nalgen water bottles before on a race car. It looks nerdy but it works.

Got a U shaped piece of stainless out of a file cabinet at work of all things, plug welded on some stainless screws then plug welded that to the side of the water bottle. Don't have a pic of it on the car but just drilled two holes in the plastic Taurus fan shroud and bolted it to that with a backer strip. Could be about a half pint larger but works fine and sure a buttload cheaper than the aftermarket stuff.
