This is an item on the “when I get around to it” list that I probably need to “get around to.” Never added a proper drain tube or puke tank to my replacement radiator. I now see some evidence that the radiator has, in fact, puked.

Thinking I will do something that looks like a “period” owner modification. An antique milk bottle, large soda bottle, etc.

Curious what various trucks here are running , and some of the mounting and routing detail.

The nipple of the neck of my radiator just has a little flared ridge. I guess for just clamping a rubber hose onto. I’m OK at sweating copper pipe for household plumbing. Can I affix some copper line via solder to the overflow nipple on the radiator? It’s a copper brass radiator.
