Default overflow tank

I moved the battery to the rear and now I wanna get rid of the ugly stock coolant/battery tray tank thing..

for people that have removed theirs, what brand or size tank did you use?

I am seeing a crapload on Ebay but not sure which size or brand is good or not....

Aerospace components billet aluminum overflow with petcock drain on the bottom. I spaced it to where it drains thru the hole that was under the stock coolant overflow / battery tray so it runs straight on the ground when you open the drain. Think it holds like 20-24oz of fluid. I don't think its ever been more than half full.

Couple ways to do it, above method, or get one that has a port on the bottom you can hook up the hose to so it will recirculate, the. A hose off the top as a vent for overflow situations. One thing I will suggest is mounting the overflow in the back of the car, long nose yes but it will prevent any coolant from getting on the tires if it pukes a head gasket and blows pressure in the cooling system.
