This U.S. WWII AN-M30 100LB Bomb shaped coolant recovery tank may be mounted next to the radiator or on the firewall. It is

made of copper and brass
3" diameter
15" in length
two studs for mounting to firewall or fan shroud*
holds ~2 pints
GP - 100LB AN-M30A1 stencil in black
Kilroy was here stencil in flat white
Made in the USA

*please advise if you intend to suspend or mount horizontally

Should the system pressure exceed the cap’s rating, the spring will compress and fluid will flow through the shorter tube to fill the chamber.

In the event the recovery tank reaches capacity, the fluid will find the second longer tube and exit to the street. A vacuum will draw the coolant back into the cooling system as the engine cools down.

We make to order. Please allow adequate time for us to build.

Build time estimates [Feb 2025]

Brass/Black Model Ts

Our longstanding foundry (supplier) closed and all production was shifted to a neighboring foundry. Apparently many of the closed foundry's workers were ineligible for rehire by the new foundry due to more aggressive immigration enforcement and the union has no employees to provide. As of 2-20-25, we should receive castings in March 2025 and can resume production then.

In the interim, we have been working with our one-off foundry to have pattern boxes made and these are trickling in in smaller batches and we will produce what we can.

Model As 5-6 weeks

Heater cores ~6 weeks

Model A and 32 Ford Street rods 6 weeks

Common street rods ~12-15 weeks

Tricky customs & complicated restorations ~16 weeks months

We appreciate your patience as we continue to recruit and train new fabricators and manage the labor shortfall our country has been experiencing.
