Dear Paul
       Unless ther is something I'm not seeing the bottom of the water 
pump and the rad are pretty close why not run a small section of hose 
with a ''T'' type fittingdown by the rad. Maybe not a true ''T''  but 
angled up towards the bottom of the bottle fitting. The short side of 
the ''T'' could be put inline water pump/rad .the long side of the ''T'' 
 would be angled to the bottom of the bottle. That would give you the 
option of mounting the bottle where you want it,not be locked in  by the alum tube.

OK that is fine. I have some 1.5 inch ID clear hose I can use on the dyno
to check for air bubbles. With an anti collapse spring inside it will
work fine.

Hey I have a better idea. I'll just have a 1/2 inch NPT bung tig welded on the rad tank.
One fewer 1.5 inch hose joint to leak. forget the "T" and pipe.
