Default Plugging away at all the little things ( 03-03-22 )

Man are these hard to find and I have five Autoparts stores within four miles of my house and the good news is I finally
found them at Autozone. I needed one for the radiator and one for the over flow tank. I like these as I can attach a 3/8's hose
so I can control where the coolant goes if I have to drain the radiator or overflow tank.



Of course I couldn't get the old one out so a quick trip to my buddy Ben's house and the job of getting the old one out has begun.







A couple wraps of "Oatey FASTape" to prevent the fitting from getting stuck again.



Another Quick trip to Ace Hardware for some small hardware and of course I need some animal crackers







Yes, another quick note.



I use the "Pushnut" bolt retainers to hold the bolt to the tank which makes installing the tank much easier. I also installed
a layer of cork on the tank bracket to protect the paint on the core support.







Has anyone use one of these as I might try this so I can bleed the brakes by myself ?
