Also maybe it's just me, but the sight glass is on the side next to the fuse block under the hood vs on the engine side. I don't have it so I can't test fit it to see how it sits, but can you still see the level clearly vs if it was on the engine side of the coolant reservoir?

This is a really good point I didn't think about. It would be AWESOME if it could accept a traditional style radiator cap. That way if there were eventually an issue, you could grab a replacement for $5 at any auto parts store USA

Agreed with the silver cap! Also.. agree with about using stock caps, that would be really ace. At least maybe sell the caps individually if a replacement is needed

Tested out the tank with my Snapon pressure tester, one of the old school adapters works.

Once I have it installed I will try with the harbor freight kit.

Seems like a generic cap from auto parts store will work fine, I will identify the exact part number and report back.

Super excited about this product!
