Washer Reservoir and Coolant Overflow container

[Justwondering]

What are my options for a replacement for the washer reservoir and a replacement for coolant overflow container?

I have my old coolant container but the bolt that holds it to the frame of the car has pulled through the plastic bottle.

My washer reservoir --- what a cracked up broken jumble.

Is it possible to get something that isn't 50 year old plastic?

For the coolant container - just a big washer, maybe partly cut to fit, to hold it with the same screw doesn't help?

I got all excited, dug my extra washer reservoir out... and it's cracked.

They're all over ebay. The earlier ones don't have the hole on top for the low washer fluid sensor (at least I think that's what that's for) Any jug with the right size hole in bottom would work too

For the coolant overflow you can use almost anything

Are they different from Aspen Volare stuff? If the same I probably have them.

The washer fluid is the same other then missing the knockout for the sensor. The ead overflow is different because the 70s charcoal canister was mounted differently.
The rad overflow is common to crack at that top stud.

I have no less than 3 or 4 of these put away somewhere in a box...LOL, so tell me exactly what it is that you need (pics???) and for the price of shipping it's yours!

FYI - Canuck land here, so given the size of the box this parcel would need...well, it may not be the best option, your call

Well the bolt is pulling through and the plastic is old and brittle. Not sure that's the best option now that its already compromised.
Maybe if I cut out the area around the bolt and jb welded in a red-neck solution?

You get 43 points for best picture and making me smile today...
So you aren't worried about putting in a 50 year old plastic container for either radiator fluid or washer fluid?

Well that's not a question I can answer. I've never owned a Volare. If they are compatible I'll let you know... let me do more research.

You are spot on with the overflow cracking at the top stud. Next one I get I'll put washers inside and out to be sure I have more structure and don't get the tear out.

I went to all the trouble to rehab my charcoal canister and put new charcoal in it, I'd hate to not use it. But everybody has been deleting them once they get the vaporlock gas cap situation resolved.

M_Body_Coupe ... well, well ... looks like you win the hero award. I'll get pictures and post on here.

Could be the leaderboard is going to see some big changes with the help I'm getting on old plastic bottles. lol

Out of a northern car? Yeah no problem. Out of a southern car? Probably should go in the trash. The humidity up here gives plastics a longer life

You could always get a plastic welder and diy it back together. But a new to you reservoir is probably easier

well I have been battling my chore list.
So far, I've managed to get the 5th Avenue battery charged back up and will get my photos this afternoon.

Older brother went in for knee replacement surgery on Wednesday so my world now revolves around his dog until brother returns from his girlfriends house.
