I need two rubber nipple caps to cap a few coolant nipples. They need to be around 1 inch od and I can't find them anywhere.

Can you guys help?

Is there actually going to be coolant touching the nipples?

If not, go to the aisle in walmart that has **** for tables, stools etc, you can find some 1 inch o.d. caps there.

Yes, coolant will be touching the cap. You know the coolant nipple on the driveside of the motor right below the oil filter pedestal......... well that's what I need to cap along with another one of the waterpump. I removed my heater core so I need to cap those off.

LUPE

These need to hold temperature and pressure.

Anyone know where I can find these?

Cut off the end of the hose (about 2" - 3"), insert an appopriate size hex bolt and use hose clamps to seal the connections. If you can't locate a large enough hex bolt, you can use steel rod cut to length or a pipe cap.

Simple ditch the water pump and thermostat housing like a real man and run an EWP. You'll lose even more weight.



Leave the nipples to the kiddies you silly rabbit!

LUPE

That's my last resort but I'd like to get something a little better looking.

Where did you buy that? I don't see your EWP?

The block adapter I bought through Summit, I then got AN to hose adapters, but since have ditched that setup for a custom -20 AN adapter, hose and line setup. Along with a custom triple pass, dual core, 26x19x3 radiator with -20 AN male fittings on the end tanks and the required sensors mounted in the end tank.
It's run with a Davies Craig EWP and controller.

You can see the EWP on the right in this picture with the yellow zip tie while I was mouting it.

LUPE

I can't see **** from that picture. I'll take a look at summits site for that adapter. I'm still going to need the nipples for the time being. I need to get my car out to the track before I start anymore projects.

Anyone know where I can get some BIG NIPPLES? Besides from Big Shirley!

Advanced Auto Parts has them but the quality sucks so you would need to replace ever so often.. The thermostat housing one is about 1/4" larger than the rear one.

LUPE

Well, I'll check advanced autoparts but I can't put something on that will break. I'd hate to be travel 140mph plus and have coolant spray everywhere.

Anyone else know if I can order these somewhere?

Just loop them for the time being.

LUPE

Well, I'd like to find some rubber nipples for the time being

Have you looked at mcmaster parts beginning in 92805K ? They have a range of sizes in silicone that are rated for 600 F. The link is here http://www.mcmaster.com/nav/enter.asp?pagenum=3547 . Also, they should be able to get it to you overnight.

I wouldn't use any rubber caps from an auto parts store for more than temporary. I've seen them fail in just a few months from heat.

McMaster-Carr is the way to go. I bought some high-temp vacuum caps from them a while back, and they're still pliable and in great shape.

The bolt/hose/hose clamps method works VERY well - not super clean, but it's VERY failproof.

I couldn't find anything on there and the caps that I did find, you have to buy them 100 at a time. I don't need that many

Can you shoot me a link to the ones you bought?

Thanks.
