The coolant reservoir in my 85 4x4 is in the process of disintegrating. Nissanpartszone.com has one, but it's $100!

The local salvage yard doesn't have one. Any ideas where to find one for a reasonable price? Or ideas for a suitable alternative?

Cheers!

Ive seen aftermarket options but not sure of the fit. They all say universal.

Ive also seen people just use plastic bottles, like a coke bottle or something.

Ive been hunting for one for my 82 for awhile, just worried about aftermarket locations and ease of install.

Innovation is key! No reason to not just make one. Plastic bottle works fine, or if you're looking for something a bit more "classy" you can get as artistic as you need with it. Hope that helps in some roundabout way. Welcome to the site!
