leaking coolant expansion tank 66 230
« on: March 18, 2019, 14:14:13 »
I took my 66 230 for a nice lazy drive this weekend,  when i got home i decided to look under the hood and
saw coolant drops and noticed the seam on my coolant expansion tank had given away.  (photo)

sadly the tank on my car is only about 15 years old.  I had bought it from the classic center.

new project this weekend, pull the tank and take it to a radiator shop to see if they can braze it.

Easy fix.  I think I paid $25 to get mine brazed a few years ago...
