looks cool but where is the breather? shouldn't there be a second hose that lets air out when coolant gets pushed to the bottle under pressure?

the top hole where the hose goes in will be plenty enough if theres any pressure in there. its not air tight

Not exactly overflow, but an expansion tank for use with the aftermarket radiator. Since the radiator cap is below the highest point in the system, this works well.

"TeamWireRacing"-Not thread related but that's a unique way of decreasing ride height without losing shock stroke. I was contenplating doing something similar also. Is this setup any noiser then a regular camber plate setup? Also noticed you have only 3 of the 4 bolts showing on the strut top,did you use a counter suck machine bolt that's being covered by the 3 bolt pillow ball arrangement? cheers

Was just looking at this,with the pillow ball on top all the force from the strut acting upward is through those 3 camber adjusting nuts.That doesn't look very safe as there is not much surface area on those nuts even though they are a flaired type.normally the pillow sits on the bottom where the up force acts on most of the pillow plate.

Can't comment on the noise - it's a race car, fully gutted so everythings noisy!

The innermost bolt on the slider plate is also a mounting bolt for the stationary plate. Regarding any weakness of the design, they are pretty well proven in competition with no known (to me) failures, so I'm pretty confident that they'll hold up. I bought them from ISC Racing (www.iscracing.net).
