Have a stock '71 FJ40 with an F engine. It didn't have a coolant overflow tank and I was able to purchase one on eBay. I have the tank itself and the bracket, (metal band and horizontal mounting bracket - http://www.sor.com/sor/cat054.tam?xax=16737&page.ctx=cat054.tam - round tank #60 & 61) but can't figure out where it goes. Can anyone help out?

Any pictures?

Thanks!
 
pretty sure it mounts to the radiator mount(or whatever the thing that holds the rad is callled) on the passangerside.
 
John is right. I think there was a 3 hole bracket that attached to the radiator mount, and the bracket you have attached to that.
 
if it's like the bracket shown under the bottle in the SOR picture, it mounts to your fender in front of your battery.
That's how the one in my 77 is.
My 74 didn't have a coolant bottle either, so I don;t know if the early ones were different. :rolleyes:
I'm using a later one that's like the 77 and mounted to the inner fender.
 
AFAIK, they didn't start using the overflow bottle until 75, so there are no factory holes for it.

I used the same bottle on my 65 and 68. Modified the horn brackets to hold the bottle and the horn.
