    Pirtek in Campbelltown, he said he could have made it to the 45 degree angle too, but this was easier. Considering I have see plenty that were 90 degree I figured this would be OK. If needs be he can remake me one @ 45.

    Will try putting it in on the 10th when I get my other parts (including the new expansion tank).
    Just a thought, You should check the internal diameter of the small fitting. The new one might be too big.

    In the fitting I made up (above) I had to use solder to fill the inside of the barb and then drill a 2mm hole through the solder to match the original hole in the radiator overflow pipe.

    I used drill bits to gauge the the internal diameter of the old fitting. (ie use the shank end of the bit see what the largest bit you can pass through the hole is.) I then used a small butane torch (but even a lighter would work) to fill the small barb with solder. Once it had cooled I drilled the smaller hole through it.

    I initially hooked it up without doing that and there was heaps of water flowing back into the bottle, it took me a while to figure out what was going on. You might not have any problems but hopefully this info helps you or someone else out.
