No engine coolant bleed pipe

Hi All,
Very recently joined the Bongo club, and so far loving the motor - however when checking for the bleedpipe under the passenger seat, it just isn't there! Turns out, when the head was replaced (I assume), the wrong tee piece was used, ie a ford ranger tee was used, with only two outlets, and no bleed outlet.

I've read a partial response on the old bongo forum regarding adding a tee to the Turbo coolant pipe to use for bleeding - has anyone done this, and if so, has it worked well? Are there guides to doing so (I cant find any!).

Cheers in advance,
Hoggins
