My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)

In Snaps defense it looks like an expansion tank in the picture with how the hose connections are. One hose connection should be small and go to the radiator, the other will be 5/8"ish and go to the hose that used to go to the OE expansion tank, not sure what the hoses look like on a 4cyl though. I was looking on Summit and they have quite a selection, where in the engine bay are you going to put it?
-
I would think it should be fine, there is always a higher pressure in the radiator than in the suction line when the engine is running which causes flow in the proper direction, out of the highest point on the radiator to the tank then out of the bottom of the tank to the pump suction. The e30 bottle has a tube that goes to the bottom of the tank on the small line from the radiator, this is probably to prevent air from returning up the line when the engine is shut off, you can open the cap and watch the bubbles come out of it when you first fill an m20 and run it. This might be a feature to look for in an expansion tank, or both lines coming into the bottom area of the tank would have the same effect.
Edit: I hope I am not sounding like I am raining on your parade, I am only trying to help. Although I am not going to be "stanced" we are doing a lot of similar things with our builds and I enjoy having someone to work through the details with.

^I totally understand=) You're being very helpful. I also enjoy having someone to work through the details with. Two heads are better than one=)Â
Came home from a great vacation this past weekend and this picture was texted to me
Everything is sprayed besides the bay. Once they spray that they just need to wet sand and buff, as well as rehanging the doors, hatch, and hood. They also need to install the new rubber trims around the exterior (sun roof, rear window, etc)
This package was also at the door for me
With that I will need to source a 19mm master from a Porsche 944 turbo or an e21.
I am also trying to figure out what brake fluid reservoirs to run and really like these but need to dig more to see what they are from
Other than that my z3 rack should be arriving today as long as I am home when the FedEx truck arrives=) I need to order new banjo bolts for mounting my power steering delete. Does anyone know a good place to get them from?
-
What are the dimensions of the bolt?
-
thread pitch, length and width. Such as m10 x 1.5 x 15mm
-
The banjo bolts for your power steering delete... you asked if anyone knew of a good place to get them and I may have some lol.
-
That looks awesome! I like the dual reservoir setup, there would have to be a third one for the clutch but I have seen people use a firewall mounted clutch reservoir, any would work but I seem to recall people using one from a newer GTO. For the Massive delete kit is there only one kit and it fits e30,36,46 etc?
-
This kit fits e36's and e46's I believe. There is a separate kit for the e30 and that is what Collin bought.Â
Do you have any pictures of the GTO reservoir? I was actually just going to add a nipple/barb fitting to the rear most reservoir to feed the clutch master.

Not BMW specific but good pics on this thread. It wouldn't let me link the pic.
