Re: Radiator pipe mounting bracket

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

The clamps that hold the coolant pipes are called Bundy clamps and 
there was a piece of rubber in the clamp origionaly to keep the clamp 
from rubbing a hole into the pipe. Just go to an auto parts store and 
get a sheet of thin rubber (or a plumbing supply) cut it up into 
strips and wrap it around the pipe under the clamp.
The pipe on the left with the otterstadt switch has the clamp behind 
the switch and the switch pointed down.
The bleeder screw is in the thermostat housing at the top of the 
"coolant pump" just to the left of where the right hose connects. It 
is under a piece of the throttle spool bracket. It looks like the 
bleeder nipple on the brakes with a hole in the middle. If the hoses 
are origional they should all be replaced, same for the belts, idler 
pulley bearings, seals and gaskets.
