Carrier Rad Elbow Question

[Jordan Baker]

Lynn, the small cup/funnels you mention are for the radiator drain cocks on the engine. They are seperate from the rad overflow tank.

As for the rad overflow on a Mk1*, on my carrier, it followed the right side angle iron of the engine deck and then went down and out the right side ventilation hole in the lower rear plate. I do remember seeing a picture that seemed to show the tube just exiting in the area of the rear differential. There was no condenser can and it simply vented to atmospher.

Bruce, your description is what I've seen. As for your setup with the extra water can carriers on the rear that makes sense having the tube go to one of them. However it just seems that the tube would be extremely exposed going up and over the rear plate. Saying this I don't really see any other alternative.
