hi
i've been using your trick for quite some time and it is great for our
older cars.
i use a tuppleware(sp) container that has a cap with a pouring hole in
it-mine fits behind and alongside the rad and i think sits on part of
the frame or something-i'd have to look.
as a by product of this mod you can check your coolant level without
opening the rad cap.
