You're talking to one when you talk to me.

Actually, isn't the fix for that just being sure to use an early TR2/3 type 
radiator cap, which accommodates that deep neck.  I worked for me, when I 
sheepishly discovered the issue half way through a racing season with my 
early TR3.  We had been trying different pressure rated radiator caps in an 
effort to solve an over heating problem, and didn't realize we needed to be 
sure 
and use a deep cap.
