Did the HX and HZ Sandmans have the overflow bottle near the battery or just HJ Sandman ??

I only recall seeing overflow tanks on late HZ, not particularly on Sandmans, in my recollection more common on prem/statesman & presumed it was an accessory fit. On earlier models, I would thought to be retro fitted.

Thats just my thoughts, & may not be totally accurate, it would be great to get a definitive answer

AFAIK there was no factory coolant overflow bottle, in any HJ or HX.

The first 'overflow bottle' from the factory was the A9X (mid-77) Then any HZ with factory A/Cond or any HZ One-Tonner.

Hi;

I have a 5/79 build 5.0 / T350 which was also optioned with a Heavy Duty Radiator (but not A/C); it has the overflow bottle.

I have noticed that bottle on other latter built HZs, 6 & 8 without A/C.
