aftermarket radiator over-flow tank?

[ahoier]

Any viable options available? It's for an 88 Aries.

All I could find online were some strange looking tanks:
http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Radiator-Overflow-Tank-3%22-X-10%22-Stainless-Spectre_22905555-P_N4407_P%7CGRP2061A_____#fragment-4

Would something like that work?

In my 88 Aries I don't think the overflow is pressurized or anything, just has a "flip top" cover on it, with a hose that goes to the cap/filler neck, then to the radiator....


Isn't the "technology" relatively the same from manufacturer to manufacturer? Well, except for the "newer" radiator/overflow in 1, like my brothers Pontiac Sunfire, only has 1 cap, and no apparant "overflow"...

Any ideas?

The Spectre wouldn't quite "fit" in the current overflow area under the hood

Since it's longated...but [censored], there's even some make/model specific ones at http://www.carpartswholesale.com/cpw/radiator_overflow_tank.html

Gosh...; it is a stone simple device.
You can even make your own out of a whatever bottle and some hose.

Ive even seen empty beer cans used for over-flow tanks
