On my 80 model the overflow runs down the side of the header tank &
forward to a hole in the inner gard.

The hole is below the center front of the tank, a couple of inches
forward of the tank mounting. The tube hangs down a couple of inches
inside the wheel. Sorry, no pics, I don't even own a camera.

Yep, My TR8 had the overflow running into the wheel well. I rerouted it to the unused washer bottle. Last thing I want is antifreeze puking out in front of the tire at the track.
