I have and it solved my running hot problems.
I can send you a few pictures if you want, would have to get them tonight.
I mounted it up as high as possible on right side of firewall. I plumbed a line
from bottom of it to threaded heater port on back top of head. I then ran a
line from top of it to the overflow port on top of radiator. I put a blanking
cap on radiator. So now water is constantly circulating thru this line to
expansion tank and thru rear of head. I put the pressurized radiator cap on top
of expansion tank.
Thanks, Mike

Has anyone tried a rear expansion on their Triumph?
I've seen quite a few on MGBs and was wondering how they are plumbed?
I'd like to install the tank on the firewall (above the thermostat height) so I
can fill the system from it as well Cheers Mike Deweerd
