Randy:

Thanks for the kind comments. When we started our Cobra project two years ago we were like fish out of water searching for the most basic information about car building which at the time was like Greek to us. We found a nice post chronicalling an ERA build with lots of little details, which proved very reassuring. When we started this project, we thought we would share what little we have learned to help out others in a similar situation. There is lots of info available on Cobras but not so much on GTs.

Bill:

The expansion tank is mounted on the right side of the fire wall. You can identify it by the red lever on the STAT radiator cap in two of the pics posted above. The recovery tank is on the right rear on the tranny.

I should note that even though the expansion tank is small and mounted as low as possible while keeping it at the highest point in the system, we still had to cut out a bit of fiberglass from the clip to clear it. I will cover the mods to the clip in a later post. This, of course, explains why the original GTs had such a convoluted looking expansion tank to provide the clearance and yet keep the top high enough to purge the system.
