[Mgs] My Continuing Quest to Cool my MGA (now Header Tank)

Interesting.  When I ran an MGB in VARA racing I installed a header  tank to 
add additional coolant capacity and give a place for the water to expand  when 
hot. This seemed to help my B run cooler in races.  I ran my  lines to and 
from the header tank by inserting some aluminum "T" fixtures (from  Pegasus 
Racing Supplies) into the upper and lower radiator hoses, thus  allowing me to tap 
the hoses leading to and from the tank into these coolant  flow areas.  In 
looking at my MGA, I was thinking I could route water to a  header tank by 
taking the hoses leading to and from the heater and routing them  to a header tank 
instead.  Any thoughts on this?
