thank you so much for the wide selection of responses.
amazing that i can ask a question about which i have no experience, go to
bed, and when i get up, i am fully educated with years of experience.
i intend to just lash up a 750ml bicycle water bottle with zip ties next to
the horn hole and put the overflow tube into it, reaching the bottom. put
about 200ml water in there and another tube from the lid, pointing at the
ground in front of the radiator where the overflow tube currently ends up.
hopefully it'll stop me puking smalling amounts of coolant at the end of
each day and as i cross moutains next week, thereby preventing me having to
top it off so often.
if it works well, i'll sort out a more visually pleasing solution when i
return.
