Re: Pitterpat's 84 C20 mild build
Always wondered why there wasn't any antifreeze in the antifreeze recovery tank. Found out today poking around to remove the last 2 bolts for the inner fender. And this is the reason the front of that inner fender is rusted off, the antifreeze was leaking down on the inner fender bc the tank was pushed down on one of the bolts.
#1 - rusted out front of the inner fender
#2 - tank sitting on the bolt
#3 - the bolt
#4 - the hole where the stick is
#5 - the hole
Before I put the inner fender back in I'll epoxy up the hole. Where my dad had it mounted I'm not sure how it's mounted and I don't want to tear up anything. He had it mounted on the backside of the grill. After I get the inner fender back in I'll put an inch piece of scrap wood between the tip of the bolt and the bottom of the coolant overflow reservoir. Just figured that out by chance.
