Radiator question follow up

[Gazzman]

Couldn't afford a new radiator or the 197$ they wanted to replace the top tank ( and that was if I removed the radiator and took it to them )

So time to improvise I got a pvc threaded barbed tail drilled and tapped a hole in the filler trimmed it not to foul the cap locked and sealed it with locktite hydra seal.

and for a bit more peace of mind added some epoxy putty .

Topped it up with coolant and went for a drive and no sign of leaks :clapping:

Thanks again to those who had input in the question

Good work mate, should keep you going. Did you realise you could have added this to your original Radiator post? no need to start a new thread.

Just saved yourself $197 , quick spray of black paint and all is good.
Could of screwed in a brass tail as well but fixed and thats the main thing
