Now...here's a thing...who does this Vixen project belong to? How old are the photos? How do I find out about more about those seats? Pictures without a context may be pretty, but yhey can be pretty meaningless too.

I am looking for a new one but with just one inlet pipe. Thoughts of where they can be sourced?

[timelord]

My S2 has two top inlet pipes, one goes to the top hose and the other to a right-angle bend with the filler cap on top. Geoff

Well here are some pictures of I guess what could be described as the most original Griffith in the World but also the most neglected.

Thanks, although a V8 with uprated cooling, so not 'quite' the same, BUT, on the Vixen a rather cute way of giving customers an identical base radiator and just adding the extension variation from several models with a bit of hose and a couple of hose clips.

An original vixen S2 radiator.
I have seen them with the long stem but also the 2 outlets to allow for a remote fill / expansion tank dependant on Model, year, engine etc.

This is mine, it seems to work without any header, the level remains at the bottom of the filler neck but the usual problem with the AC guage reading steam temperatures! Geoff

Prideaux, you have missed my point, the twin stub versions which allow you to add the tank neck extensions as required, is something I had not seen before.
Sadly, I have always known more than I needed to know about TVR's from 1959 to 2003, and the 'global expert' is a micky-take on my elder brother being a Microsoft MVP (as such a private joke between siblings)...I would not of expected it to be understood.

The Fiesta XR2 expansion / thermostat housing post dates your car somewhat…are you running 2 pressure caps or is one a fixed blank?

Blank on Rad never overheats even in traffic on a hot day works rather nicely
