<< Start with one of those little Rubbermaid drink bottles-there is one
that is about a pint capacity and has flattened sides. Velcro glued to it
allows the bottle to be mounted on the inner fender. Cut off the
protrusion on the top of the bottle and drill to fit the rubber tube from
the radiator. The tube run from the overflow on the radiator to the
bottle is all it takes to hook it up. Some say that you need a radiator
cap that is designed for coolant recovery-some say you don't need this
type of cap. Whatever, the cap to fit the MGB is available anywhere, in
both configurations.

I used the Rubbermaid bottle too, but I used a large hose clamp around the
bottle, then one of those black plastic ties used to keep wires under control
to lash the hose clamp/bottle to the right radiator support. That way, no
holes to drill, nothing to spray or spread on the car, and one snip and it's
gone for shows, etc. No problem with the radiator cap, at least the 10#
variety on 72s.
