Hi Adrian, there's an old thread that sheds light on the subject, as below. Consensus was a blanking cap on the radiator and then either 15psi or 16psi cap on the expansion tank. Cheers.

Hi Keith and thanks, mine is running the radiator in the nose cone version (same as the V8's) and then a blanked off (crushed and soldered) version of the intermediate pipe which TBH points me off to fitting a blanked of cap anyway...it would of been nice to find someone with that same radiator to confirm the fittings.
