Another water mod.

Fed up with getting covered with coolant every time I drain it so fitted a drain tap in the bottom hose. I had some thick walled brass tube in stock so cut it to length and then swaged the ends, drilled a hole to take a tap I had. Quick oxy acetylene and silver solder to make a sound job. Just a bucket needed now, open the tap and lat back.

Photo sideways for some reason. Tap points to earth!

Don't you have the drain tap in the bottom of the rad?

I think it's a bit higher up than the one I fitted. Mine will drain straight in to a bucket with no mess.

The radiator stop cock is a PITA to get to and open...
