I think the bottle & holder used on the TR4A looks period correct on the
earlier TRs -- moreso than the FLAPS variety. Once in ahwhile TRF has
the whole kit on sale (bottle, cap, holder). Won't work unless you get a
radiator cap for a closed system or modify your current cap.
I put one on the (late) TR4 because the radiator lacks the big header
tank/neck of the TR3s & early TR4. IMO that extra space for expansion
lets you have a such full radiator w/o overflow that an overflow tank
seems less necessary.
