HELP identifying part please.

I need some help with one thing. i wonder what this thing on the shelby series 1 is.



you see the aluminium "can" on the right side of the engine... it looks like something for oil... but i do not know! the blue tubes that comes out from it. just goes forward in the car. and i cant se on my pics where they goes. i wonder(sp) if it can before the oil cooler or something.

Looks like it might be a master cylinder.

The master cylinder is on the right side of the pic. Seeing the hoses, the aluminium tank looks like a water tank (expansion vase ?). Awesome suspensions by the way.

I agree
heres a better pic showing it going forward and possibly to the radiator



Do an interenet search and you will come up with a bunch more places to look

Thanks alot! i had an idea about that it should be a expansion vase. but i was not sure.
I have done alot of internet searches but hav not found a pic where you can se where those are heading... but i thing i will pull them to the radiator... and then pull other cabels from the oil cooler.... well thanks alot! again

The one line does run up and behind the carbon valve cover, so cooling related perhaps? But that is your pick GvMan, both of the lines in Dags pick head to the radiator/intake area

Its the filler for the radiator, hence the octagonal pressure/radiator cap on top of it. It also acts as an expansion chamber to contain any possible overflow during expansion and put fluid back into the system under contraction (i.e. when the engine cools down).
