I am not a purist either and mine is a Resto-Mod so I don't care how the job gets done. You get points for thinking out of the box.I just have a one gallon antifreeze plastic jug jammed in the front corner. I might be on my second one since 1982. My stock 72 radiator has a Stant cap, I have a new 4 core brass rad to install. I'm going to make the bracket so I can use a one gallon windshield fluid jug as the washer tank.
Not a purest by any means but its nice you can buy oem stuff.
We sell one, which should be back in stock soon.It’s stainless steel we weld together in house and utilizes a great reproduction bottle by CityRacer.

58-72 Land Cruiser stainless coolant bottle bracket kit
Early FJ40 and FJ45 Land Cruisers didn't come with coolant overflow bottles. Any excess coolant was drained on the ground. Not really ideal for a few reasons. So we designed a super easy coolant bottle bracket that is a no-modification bolt on item! It's designed to work with later 40 series...cruiser-cult.myshopify.com
Yup! Just like @Green Bean posted.So this is what I need to keep my garage floor dry! Well, this and maybe a front seal.
Do you have any additional pics of them mounted other than what is on the site? I’m not sure mine would mount the same way as the pics in the listing.
Edit: Actually I think mine would mount like how @Green Bean has that one.
I am also seeing that you have several radiator caps available. Which one would work with your overflow tank with a stock 68' FJ40 radiator?Thanks for getting back to me. Your website was unavailable earlier. But I only see this bottle and do not see the taller one.![]()

@GreenbeanI was partial to the factory round bottle for many years , and managed to collect over 30 of them before the reproduction ones came out. Then @ToyotaMatt came out with a clean compact rectangular one that I liked enough to offer for resale. I think @majdomo just posted a picture of his install a week ago.
But I still live by the motto that form follows function, and for cheap AND compact, I was impressed by this DIY bicycle water bottle and cage setup I saw at the BHCC

@ToyotaMatt I have an early heater shutoff valve tech question: What size and pitch are the threads for the heater shutoff valve and accompanying 90 degree fitting that screws into the head adjacent to the temperature sending unit? The threads for the OE shutoff valve that screw into the 90 degree fitting are different (smaller) than the thread size that screw into the port on the head.as we speak every bodies solid mud buddy mr green bean and also uncle mark A have this little new rascal below , en-route to evaluate and install , and report back here on how the shoe i de-designed fits .....![]()
