So I'd been looking into some radiator mods, and I love the clear tube idea.... but I'm broke so need a cheap option. Low and behold, you can't beat $1!! Picked up one of these girlie spray things from the dollar store, cleaned off the label with some goo-gone. Knock out the pump by pressing hard against the counter or something.... then drilled out the top with a 1/2 inch bit. Cool thing is that all the rubber seals and stuff from the factory piece works with the container. Made a little bracket from scrap plumbers tape and rivet/ sealed it on with RTV. After all the work, needed to put in better looking coolant since you can really see it now. Put about 30 mins of motor time running around to see if it leaks or if the heat will cause problems.... will update after a nice long ride.
