Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank 1 Attachment(s)
Hallo und schoenen guten Abend!
Does anyone know this interesting and beautiful accessory? Possibly also a source of supply? |
Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank They come from Brassworks. I prefer their overflow tank that fits between the radiator and shell and is hidden.

Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank Can you pressurize a AA system having a std cooler, or do you need an aftermarket cooler made to be pressurized? Chris |
Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank Someone had rigged up an overflow on our '28 Sport Coupe when I bought it by attaching an anti-freeze jug to the firewall with wire ties and connecting a hose. I removed it on the way home and deposited it in the first recycling bin that I saw.

Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank Hallo,
thanks for answers. I don't need the part, because the engine do not lost water. I want it, because it looks very nice and it is a tool at that time. MAC's sell it, but the shipping costs ar more than 120 $, that's too much. |
Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank A schnapps bottle could work.

Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank Get one of them fancy insulated thermos coffee cups from Starbucks for $100 and just set it on the passenger seat.
Does your car "pass" off that much coolant that you need a recovery tank? Once they find their "happy level" adding more liquid just means it has to pass it off to get back to it's happy level. Just my experience with these. I had one on a 52 V-8 but never felt the need on the "A". Chap |
Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank Whether you need it or not its kind of a neat accessory and isn't really a modification, more of just an add on. I top off my radiator every spring when I get the car out, it then blows water for a few minutes then I never have to add again for the year but still, if I had a neat little tank like that one I think I'd put it on. Conversation piece. When I go to a car show and look the cars over, there are lots of horrible "fixes" that usually just make you wince , but once in a while you see a really neat and nicely done little add on that makes the car more interesting.

Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank I need to add this or something similar for a number of reasons but mainly after seeing the effects antifreeze has on a pet (dog) there is no excuse for allowing this stuff to seep all over the ground...
Granted I cleaned up the "spill" but even the diluted antifreeze was enough to almost kill our dog. It took 5 days and a lot of Vodka to save her life. The cost of this overflow tank is a very small fraction of the vet bill and the prevention of poisoning and possible death of you furbuddy makes it worth its weight in gold... |

not so sophisticated on my Tudor!

Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank Wrong topic.
My overflow is vented to the road. |
Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank They are available at any hot-rod shop or by mail from Speedway Motors in Nebraska, Summit Racing, etc.

Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank Good evening, is there someone here who maybe has a photo of an engraving o. e. of this part from that time?

Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank 1 Attachment(s)
Would someone please show me how to install the cooling water compensating cylinder? I thought it was screwed between the radiator and the mask frame. But that's wrong.
Thanks in advance! |

Here is how I mounted mine

Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank Thanks for the helpful picture!
I see that you also have Jim's front tool box. I also assembled them. |
Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank Do these not require a pressurized system to work the way they're meant to?
|
Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank Hallo Randy.
No, it's an open, depressurized cylinder. One drainage tube from the bottom and one to the top for pressure equalization. You don't must to have it. But it looks nice and interesting. |
Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank I installed something similar on my latest car and it works a treat - much better than the nice chromed jobs we see advertised. I can't understand why you got rid of it unless you want everything "original".[/QUOTE]
Hi Synchro. I've purchased the flash chrome slim cylinder. It looks great but I don't know how or where to attach it. I'd like a photo of the one you have used or improvised please. I like your signature at the bottom of your posts re health and wealth. I'd even vouch for its authenticity. |

Guten Tag!
The overflow cylinder has now been installed. I riveted it with a square tube against the radiator mask. Looks very nice! |
Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank So with an overflow tank on a non pressurised system , once the bottle is full it simply overflows on to the pavement. To me an overflow tank on a non pressurised system seems pointless , apart from looks. I suppose it could return to a non pressurised system as long as the overflow pipe in the radiator was submerged. What is the trick to getting say a 4lb pressurised cap on an A so in fact when it cools it will actually return to the radiator .
|
Re: Ford Model A Coolant Overflow Tank I think the idea is not bad. Only the cooler is filled. Any water that expands when heated runs into the expansion tank. When cooling, the cooler sucks the water back out of the expansion tank.
But you're right: my main joy is that it looks great too. |
