go to google type 'Bailey swirl pot' then look for either the bailey website or someone selling their stuff.. I havnt really seen any here in the US, i figured since this is an aftermarket escort part that someone might have an old one i could buy.

Water swirl pots are fitted as common practice on many race cars, where the demands on the cooling system are high due to increased power and engine revs.
Swirl pots fit into the radiator top hose and their function is to swirl the incoming water which, due to centrifugal force, removes the air bubbles through the top spout which is then fed back to the top of the header tank.
Removing the air caused by localised boiling within the cooling system allows the water to have a more stable operating temperature.
Once the air is removed your radiator will work more efficiently as air takes up valuable space without conducting any heat away.
Bailey manufacture swirl pots for the Ford RS range and all have been developed from our 10 years of racing experience and unlike some poor copies, swirl the water properly.
