Radiator overflow

Ledsel · #1 02-09-07, 04:42

Does anyone know what the rad overflow container looks like on a 44 MKII ? At least I think it had one as there is a pipe going down the side of the rad. Was it like a T16 ? mine was removed I think so that they could put the flame thrower hoses there. I think?

Ledsel,

The coolant overflow tank on a 1944 Mk II Carrier is the standard Ford CMP overflow tank found on the trucks. Squarish, it fits under the jump seat behind the commanders position.

The T-16 overflow tank is quite a bit different.

Would someone have a photo of one? Is it covered or is it just in the open. I see bolt holes in the division plate and the floor is that where it was bolted?

Ledsel,

Here is a shot of the area directly behind the commanders position that shows the overflow tank. The tank is bolted to the division plate just above the cross tube.

That sure helps as I've never seen one before. Is that a vent on the top?

I think its actually a hose fitting on top but its too badly rusted to identify . i will see if i can clean it up and find out for you .

Hello,

The dimensions of the overflow tank are the same as the fuel tank, so when you have a bad fuel tank and the tops are still good you could make a overflow tank from it. :witch
