Show me what you've got. Just picked up an FMIC from a member on here but it doesn't have the bottle from the kit with it so I'm a bit stumped as to what to do.

The only thing that looks a decent solution is the Perrin bottle but that's silly money for what it is.

Interested to see what people have used.

The stock bottle cannot stay in the same place as the FMIC pipework goes there.

The front mount fits in front of the rad so the overflow bottle stays in the same place behind the radiator.

If its one that fouls it then a bottle mounted elsewhere will do, its only a overflow/expansion bottle

Does that have a hose on the inside from that connector that's visible?

Wondering if this would work, with the inlet/outlet being at the bottom:
