    Cheap Rad coolant junction fix

    Hello all, its been a long time..
    Cleaning out the shed and came across this old fix I had to do for the plastic T junction for the Radiator hoses.
    I was desperate, the plastic one failed and left me on the side of the road, I walked to bunnings and hunted this gal T in the plumbing section, cost aprox $3.00 then.. worked perfect and had it in for a couple of yrs,,,Im lazy....
    Just thought Id share as i was miles away from any supplier....Ps...I think its better than the original...

    Diameter, OD rim is 37mm, ID 24/25mm and is threaded. A 20 stamped on the side,,sorry for being basic im not a plumber

    I remember how brittle the plastic on was when it failed, just disintegrated when removed.
