    Recovery Tank in Place of T-Filler

    I’m replacing my rad with an FFR rad, Breeze upper and lower mounts and Breeze lower hose kit.
    I am hung up on which recovery tank would look and function best (cooling, space, etc) and am stuck in a bit of an “analysis-paralysis” state.

    I have Franks (IE427) suggested Gates 21211 hose for “cleaning up” the t-filler line but really dislike the hose cutting straight across the engine bay. Sure like how the Roush/Backdraft is routed up top. Much cleaner.

    I saw on one of Franks videos where it appears in a very brief clip, he has plumbed a recovery tank to function as both a t-filler and recovery tank. (Picture attached) I really like this idea as I feel the t-filler in our standard setup looks ugly and out of place.
    It appears in the clip he’s tig’d a rad hose inlet and outlet to the tank but I can’t quite tell if the overflow tube goes out beside the cap and simply routes right back down, under the same tank. Or is that an additional recovery tank (round cylinder that looks similar to the FFR recovery tank) to the right of the plumbed tank?

    I have many years of aluminum fab experience and both Mig and Tig welders and to do a little custom work is no big deal.
    Can anyone advise on this setup or suggest something different?
