Default mounting my swirl pot help

Can anyone tell me were and how I mount the small top hose of my swirl pot
Because it has to go to the cooling water tank but my standard 4x4 tank only has 2 big mounts
Hope somebody knows how to solve this

I'll have the same issue when I fit mine to my spec R tank. I think getting a hose connection bit welded in at the top will do the trick. Some people I have seen connect it in line with the turbos water return line but I would not want to do that personally.

The aftermarket alloy ones have another union that it connects to, the standard ones don't so I guess you have one of these or one without the extra union? I guess you would have to get another tank or find somewhere else to connect it.

That's perfectly fine to me. He must have that nipple bolted in and sealed or something. An aftermarket 4x4 tank will only have the 2 holes but like I said welding another nipple at the top will sort this easily.
