Can anybody post a picture of a coolant bottle in the engine bay from a 1979 -81 firebird or trans am please? i have got one of the type which bolts directly to the inner wing, not one with a bracket. There are no holes in the inner wing on mine as the inner wings came from a 77 i believe. I cant position it in a place which looks right and i dont want to drill in the wrong place!

THANKS!

will get a photo tomorrow, got a '79 in for exhaust at moment
(did take a picture or 2 but left camera at work )

I can't help at the moment, "working away" in Bristol until Friday, if it's not sorted then, will take a pic etc at week-end.

Thanks gents. It's strange because all the ones I've ever seen have been fixed to a bracket although I can just about remember mine being attached to the inner wing. It's so long since I've had a coolant bottle that I can't remember how or where it fits.

Mine is with a bracket, bolted to the inner wing as close to the rad. as possible.

Hmm , this bottle i have doesnt have the right screw holes for a bracket!! Its come from a second gen though for sure as Tony only breaks second gens!

Maybe mine is not the original bottle.

the one at work has been moved and fixed to front panel without its bracket, sorry

My 79 has all the original factory stuff under hood,i'll take a pic of coolant bottle tomorrow.

Think my coolant recovery bottle is mounted onto inner fender with a bracket like this
