[Healeys] Radiator cap

[Richard Dryman]

Don't remember the number--it is a cheap kit;<$20., with a plastic
receiver;clear vinyl hose and a round rubber 'washer' to put in the radiator
cap. Is a 'square' receiver, about 1/2 gal. Name on the red cap is
Interdynamics Coolant Return System. I mounted above the brake servo, behind
the back horn, beside the rt vent cool fan; the clear hose replaces the black
overflow hose and is long enough to go about 1/2 down the radiator then over
to the side rail and to the receiver. And it works guys--the radiator stays
"Plumb Full" and you are never embarrassed with the tell-tale wet mark.

Do you
happen to know the number on the reservoir kit you bought.  They sell
quite a
few, and most will not fit in the car.
