I'm using a S50 alloy radiator and a E30 M3 expansion tank. Could some one tell me where all the hoses and pipes from the tank go?

The ones I know are:

#17 - goes to the pipe on the engine under the manifold
#11 - is an overflow
#7/8 -
#12 -

I guess the later 2 go back to the rad?

12 will come from your cylinder head

11 is an overflow

7 & 8 are a bleed from your radiator...

7/8 I think goes on the rad then above the top pipe?

Where does 12 go on the engine?
