A standard (Mk.1*) Carrier had a different method of collecting overflowing rad fluid. An elbow on the rad cap attached to a hose and another elbow on the underside of the engine cover on the right side. From there a copper pipe carried it to the rear to be collected in a 2 gal. water can. By 1942, Mk.II Mortar and Mk.II* Carriers used the now standard Ford expansion can.
