I finally put my Gano water filter in my upper hose tonight.  I'd like
to show it to the gang at British Car Day this weekend, but there's one
problem.  You can't see it.

An engineer just can't leave things alone, so I just had to see what
happened when I took the two little screws in the Gano filter body out. 
What happens is that the two parts of the filter separate from the
cylinder.  

What I did was take the two filter pieces and hold them in the radiator
inlet in their proper alignment, and push the hose over them and the
inlet. I pulled the hose back off, and the filter parts were in their
proper position, stuck in the end of the hose.  Enough of the deep cone
piece was sticking out inspect it for crud, and to grab it and wiggle it
in the hose.  I didn't pull it out, but I bet I could.  If not, a little
"thieving butler" tool could sneak down beside the filters and work them
out. 

Nothing shows, which will make the concours folks happy, and there's no
clamps to wire together, or the associated blowout concerns.
