silly question

Either way - my set up is cheap, does the job and frankly, if you blow a head gasket or inlet manifold gasket having a header rank will not make one iota of difference - the engine will still be either pumping out water on hg failure or pushing it down an the exhaust on inlet gasket failure, won't it.....

If your pumping out water then nothing will help you except a float switch and warning device in a header tank. Normally head gasket or manifold failure is a relative slow loss of coolant and a head of coolant especially with a warning device will give you a reserve before the water pump ( standard set up) runs dry and make matters a lot worse. I paid £5 for my header tank, loads around for that sort of money worth every penny in my opinion.

Still going uphill to the top of the rad though?

Water finds its own level whether going downhill or uphill

This is my set up. The level of coolant in the expansion tank is higher than the rad top and inlet manifold and maintains the level of water by gravity. It is based on Staggard's original set-up and works well.

That can't be a pic of a Triumph mota.... It's to neat and clean..

I'd sort out that Kinked top hose If I were you.....

An open to atmosphere system will, but a sealed system with possible trapped air may not.
