I think it's the same thread size as the thread on the fuel pick up pipe on the fuel tank. Follow Rons advice, Bruce mate if your in no hurry I can get you a suitable fitting and post to you later in the week.

That would be terrific. No hurry, it's one of those touch up details that always seem to get done....eventually.

Bruce, you need it to couple to copper tube?, I assume you do. Will post a few out with the 11 set dial cover on Friday.
Kevin.

Yes, I probably do. I'm not sure if it's a soldered joint or a compression fitting. And the mystery goes on from there. I know the overflow went from that elbow near the rad, along a copper tube under the right, top engine cover angle iron to the front right water can on the back deck. But what about carriers that weren't equipped with those extra water can racks? Later Canadian Carriers (Mk.II and II*) used a Ford CMP type overflow can mounted above the battery, but I'm not sure about early Mk.I* carriers. I'm also not sure how the copper pipe gets from the inside of the engine cover to the outside water can.
Looking at the threads, I agree it's the same as the fuel tank fittings, except there is an adapter fitting that converts the British thread to North American at the back of the fuel tap. From there to the fuel pump it's standard stuff (at least to us Canadians). |

Bruce, follow this link, if you study the pictures you can work out the pipe run.
