Cheers for the colour compliments. I am hoping to finish the car without having to spray it but when I need to spray it I will takes Jon's comments as a challenge and find a very nasty colour!

Sorry to be a pain but excluding the overflow you seem to have 4 inlets could you tell me where all those hoses come from

Many Thanks

Tank was custom made be Tigweld4U "www.tigweld4u.com" it's his universal header tank with a couple of mods to a sketch I provided.
The sight tube is part of his standard tank, took about 5 days to turn round including posting, he's a good lad.
The four inlets/outlets are:-
1.Bottom from rad -Std Westfield
2.Inlet r/h from top of rad - std Westfield
3.Inlet l/h from cylinder head (ex. heater takeoff)
4.Overflow from pressure cap.
The other rubber pipe in picture is the carb petrol overflow vented via a metal pipe that is just attached to the header tank bracket but not part of the tank.
