1) Thermostat housing goes to top hose

2) water pump goes to botom hose.

3)Water pump 2ndary goes to head (in centre of inlet manifold)

4) Header tank goes to T-piece in bottom hose

I also have a 2ndary on the thermostat housing, but cant for the life of me remember where that is plumbed to, possibly the overflow on the headertank. I cut off and blanked the expansion on the rad and now use it as a bleed screw when filling (very useful!)
