hey,

as i wait for my sr to come in, i'm cleaning up my car as much as possible, but two things,
1: my coolant resivour has a crack in it and i would like to get a new one ... i don't want to goto the amnufacture and pay HUGE $$$'s for a new one, and i can't find a 240sx one at a wrecker is there any other models that fit reasonibly well? (i don't understand why it wouldn't, suck/squirt, they all work the same). ... this kinda relates to #
2: i need an electric fan for my SR but i'd rather not pay the $150.00 to get a new one, are there any other car models that have one that will work/fit?

thanks

Yah my friend has a hole in the reservoir too. I just saw one on ebay for 15 buy it now. I was stupid and bid 99 cents and buy it now went away so the price went to like 25 bucks. It still beats the 100 dollar dealership price.

Might also want to check out your local auto parts store and look at a plastic welding kit or a radiator repair kit (designed to repair cracks in the plastic endtanks of radiators).

what are the modifications needed? and how would i hook it up so it will go at the right temperature?

and i'm not that desperate about a resivour to use a pepsi bottle but thanks.

flex-a-lite has an adjustable temp switch, and modifications involve trimming them to make them fit right, and some wiring
