my TR6 was missing the overflow tube and bottle ass'y
when i bought it. i got the stiff plastic white
overflow tube from TRF but it wouldn't fit around the
larger OD of the spout on the radiator. now it all
makes sense - so is the black connector tube still
available at any supplier, or what material can i look
for to make the part?

The overflow tube on all of my TR6's is a semi-clear
(sort of whitish)
nylon-like material. The only black was the
"connector" between the
radiator cap and the overflow tube.
Are you talking about "that" tube or the whole
shebang?
Just curious.
