After reading some archives, I come to the conclusion that my mod/ change is not recommended, but I already bought. I'm going from an original metal radiator to one of the plastic tops, with overflow container. Only after I bought did I learn that people like the all metal radiator better.

While at the junkyard, I found a brand new Behr radiator with the plastic outlet, and overflow container. Inspired by the opertunity of a brand new radiator at junkyard prices, I bought it and the overflow tank, and hose. I acted impulsively and didnt consider if this was a good modification. I figured that although my car doesn't have the brackets welded on to hold the overflow tank, I could work something out.

Any one created their own bracket, or tie down arrangement for the overflow radiator container?

but i dont see why you couldnt. i would check the main hoses first for alignment and size.

if it wont work without too much trouble you prob can sell it here.

BTDT. Its an upgrade and was worth it to me to have the reservoir on my '79 300TD to go along with the '85 TD engine swap. I had to make 2 aluminum brackets and screwed them to the fenderwell to support the thing. I'm not very far form you if you want to see it
