The standard Caterham expansion bottle is used. This is fitted to a bracket on the front cross members above the steering rack.  
     
The expansion bottle is then attached to the bracket.  
     
The radiator is an aluminium race rad by Radtec. It is designed for the Caterham so is a straight fit. The cooling fan switch boss has a blanking plug installed as the fan will be switched from the ECU.  
     
The standard Caterham fan is installed on the back of the radiator. The fan wiring has been modified to remove the fan switch. A new relay has been installed under the dash to power the fan. The relay is switched by the ECU.  
     
The coolant hoses are made from 3 Caterham hoses, a K series top hose, a K series bottom hose and a xflow bottom hose, along with a section of straight hose.  
     
The K series bottom hose is cut in two and used in conjunction with the submarine pipe available from Caterham.
