That's very easy and like many T-owners I did that years ago. There is
and exaust pipe at the bottom of the radiator. Instead of letting it
ejaculate whenever it felt like doing it, I redirected the fluid
in a plastic pipe leading to a container - I got it from a Ford
of some kind - bolted on the battery bracket. Result is, when the
engine heats up some fluid moves up to the container, and when it
gets cold it flows back to the radiator. That container also has
a security outlet which stabilizes the level. Never had to refill
with water/antifreeze (50-50 as it should be) though. Releasing the
container tap shows the fluid's under pressure. My engine loves it.
