1970 Corvette Radiator Expansion/Fill Tank
I have a 1970 Corvette Coupe with the 454 engine and Air Conditioning and I need to find a set of mounting brackets for the Radiator Expansion/Fill tank. This is the smaller tank which I understand was exclusive to the 1969 - 1972 Big Block engine with A/C.GM part numbers 3956045, 3956046, and 3956047. If you know anyone that has a set for sale or if any vendor that carries them for sale or someone who can fabricate them I would appreciate it. The main stream Corvette parts vendors do not have them. Thanks. my e-mail is melatc21@yahoo.com

You need part #s 3956045, 3956046, and 3956047. They appear to be rather rare. Found one set at this web site for $724.97.

Strange site, not sure what to make of them. Price seems absurd.
I saw another set on ebay, big city corvettes. Couldn't find them again.
Good luck with the search.
PS: Dr Rebuild carried one of the brackets.

Are you trying to keep the car totally original, or do you just want a radiator expansion tank? That tank and its mounting strapsare pretty rare and will cost $$$$. There are lots of options for 'alternative' expansion tanks for not much money.
