Default any help on cooling system change sapph 4x4

ive got a bailey header tank on my sapphire 4x4 but I want to change it and put the original tank on, the problem is that I would have know where to put the vent off the swirl pot into. is there anyway I can get round this. I don't want to lose the swirl pot either.

Why do you wanna put a standard coolant bottle on for. Can you not drill the standarf coolant bottle and put an adapter in the bottle for the pipe to go onto.Im sure motorsport part dealers will sell them.

Make up a dipstick to check the level. A bit more pissing about than just looking at a clear bottle, but easier to plumb in the swirl pot...
