<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=328392816-03112019>My car was missing
the clips to support the water temperature gauge capillary pipe part number
AHB5397. It looks like the design was changed sometime during the Mk II
production or later. My car is a Mk I. The part I am looking for is No. 25 on
the attached PDF. It is not available from the "usual suspects"
on either sides of the pond.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

source? I can make the part but would like to have a sketch to work from. I am
fine with used parts in reasonable shape as well.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=328392816-03112019>PS - A significant
contributor to over heating when slowing down after a long drive is the lower
water flow generated by the water pump. Lets face it the the AH cooling system
is marginal and there is no magic solution. Best practise says use a water and
antifreeze mixture, make sure there are no restrictions in the radiator (tubes
starting to plug), drill a 1/16" hole in the thermostat to help eliminate
any trapped air, add a coolant overflow with the right cap to maximize
water in the system, use a 5 or 6 blade fan and keep all of the shrouding
in place.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
