Expansion Tank info required

I have a kangoo expansion tank on my car (MX5 engined)




Am I right in thinking I can connect the lower outlet of the tank to the water pump inlet. On the MX5 engine, I can use the heater pipe like so




and then Tee into the 8mm hoses at the top of the head that go to the throttle body and connect that to the top of the expansion tank.

my radiator doesn't have a top outlet that you would normally connect to the top of the expansion tank

If not, how should I do it?

thanks in advance

hi , yes I used the same point for my header and heater connections The small pipe I got a threaded nipple and drilled tapped the top / side of the radiator to suit and fitted a takeoff point. Can get some pics later or you may be able to see in my archive pics
let me know if you need any more pictures.
