Product Review: 87-96 Coolant Bottle
Some may have seen these available on ebay and other places. I bought one, don't recall where. Right now Quadratec has them on special for like $21, but $30-$35 is a typical price. Overall, I was glad a replacement was available since mine had become brittle with age and cracked near the bottom output hose bib. The mounting hole had a steel insert (good!), and the bib's had a steel insert in them to prevent them from collapsing or stressing (cracking) from tight hose clamps (nice detail) like the original had. Overall it looked great. I did feel the need to take a razor and clean off excess molding flashing around the output and inlet nipples which should have been trimmed away from the factory. I'm pretty sure the hoses wouldn't have sealed as it was. Not sure if that was just how mine was, but be aware of the hose bibs and make sure they are cleaned up smooth all around so the hoses will be able to maintain a seal under pressure.
But other than that, it fits well, looks good, and doesn't leak. Mine came with a new cap. and I replaced the lower 'L' hose. One nice thing about XJs is available aftermarket support.
