I've seen write-ups on fitting a coolant recovery system to the pre-TF T car Makes me wonder if anyone has converted a TD to a pressurized system? Maybe sealing the radiator cap with with a rubber ga

One imagines that it could be done, but is it needed? Have you experienced boiling of the coolant? Our TD radiators are quite large for a 1250cc engine, and had no overheating problems during the yea

I haven't checked it out for sure, but I suspect the hose-to-the-bottom coolant recovery tank and bracket from a 1970's era Volvo 122/240/P1800 will likely fit somewhere under the TD bonnet near the

John, Bob's right about the cooling capacity. The main reason for the coolant recovery system is just that -- recover coolant that might otherwise have messed up your fenders or bonnet. See http://ww

Hello John, I have done it, very easy. Put an o ring under the cap, buy a radiator cap neck from a radiator shop, solder a cap on the bottom, install a nipple on the soldered cap, attach the nipple t

It can, and has been done. Somewhere in my vast library of clippings from numerous T series club newsletters, I have an article on making such a modification. If you are interested, I can send you a

I have the same system in my TD that Bud has. Works very well to "recover" coolant that would normally go overboard. ______________________________________________ Mg-t@autox.team.net Donate: http://

The TD radiator cap has a rubber o-ring that seals it pretty well. Actually it lies in the groove on the filler neck. I've also had no problems with a radiator in good shape. It heats up most when tu

As Charlie points out, that big rubber o-ring under the cap seals it quite well. The only opening after that is the end of the overflow tube. My system has a piece of tubing connected at that point.
