Don't the caps used with an overflow system require a check valve, to pull the 
overflowed coolant back into the radiator as it cools? 

Dunno if you can find the right size cap for a Healey rad with such a check 
valve.

Let it overflow. Once it reaches the level of about one inch below the rim it 
will not over flow any more. But make sure you have the proper radiator cap. 
Check with British Car Specialist as the depth which it seals is deeper than 
the standard caps.

The BN6 does not have a radiator overflow and leaves a big puddle in the garage 
after every drive. 

My brother, the hot rodder, suggested a thin chromed overflow canister 
available at most rod shops and amazon. I am not sure if there is enough room 
and it would look to out of place. 

Does anyone have a picture of an elegant and easy solution. 



Thank you
