I had a few quiet moments to tidy some stuff up in the garage in the last few days, and my bias valve finally arrived with some other fittings, so i got to get some stuff done.
Firstly, I finally fitted the water overflow bling:

Just squeezes in there, and replaced the bodgy brass fitting on top with a cheap AN one.
On the bottom i welded in an NPT bung and then squeezed in a 90deg 1/8NPT to -4AN fitting to clear the headlight motor bracket. Filled it up and hopefully it wont leak this time.

Should solve dumping coolant out of a crack half way up in the old plastic overflow bottle.
The new bias valve with M10x1 adapters finally arrived too, so i bent up some new lines and fitted it:

Needs the weird banjo to flare adapter for the front port because of the bubble flare fitting, but that is how they came from factory, so it looks pretty standard. Now i just have to contort myself under the dash again to button it up… another time.
