On older British cars that don't have them I have seen these used from =
later Midgets and MGBs, it fits the look and feel of the other bits in =

Overflow Tank, and pick the universal kind) I hid it under the fender on =
the driver side I believe, you couldn't see it unless you stuck your =
head in the engine compartment and knew where it was. Surprisingly =
effective. I just ran a longer tube from the radiator to the overflow =
tank, made sure it was all airtight, and not only did it overflow to the =
tank, it sucked it back when the car cooled back down like it was =
supposed to.

Hmmmmmmmmm ... right after I sent this I realized ALL caps probably have =
this valve, else the rad tank could collapse from the vacuum created as =
the coolant cools down.
D'oh.

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.=20
Does anyone have a picture of an elegant and easy solution.
Thank you
