David aka Blue7 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 There is one bolt securing the coolant tank bracket to the bulkhead as shown in the photo below, does anyone know if it is a rivnut or a nut that is secured to the other side of the bulkhead? I can't get to the other side because the fuse box is in the way. It isn't crucial because I have meantime removed the coolant tank by removing the two bolts that attach it to this bracket. If it is a rivnut then it would be much easier to remove it rather than the other two bolts.Thanks, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Just try undoing it - if it spins its either a nut on the back / rivnut spinning and its fusebox out. If it comes out its a rivnut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilCSR Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I'm fairly sure it's a nut. Dismantled mine (CSR) last winter when the scuttle came off and I'm pretty certain that there was a nut on the other end. Could always replace with a rivnut?Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David aka Blue7 Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Ah ... thanks Neil, I didn't want anyone to waste any time on it but just thought that there must be someone who has actually removed that bolt and would know for sure how it was secured. It does turn and unscrew but the last thing I want is to have to remove the fuse box if I hear the clatter of a nut on the other side and good point about fitting a rivnut in it's place As a matter of interest I am removing the tank in order to get at the lower short length of heater hose which seems to be leaking. Replacement hose arriving tomorrow and hopefully I can replace it without having to drain the system but no doubt it will be a b*gger to remove the old hose.Ian, it didn't take long to take the photo and I type really quickly David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 The top fatter hose in your photo is rather kinked on the 180° bend. What does that hose do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David aka Blue7 Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 That is the breather hose that runs from the catch tower to the catch tank. I have had to remove the catch tank and tie the hose back to provide clear access to the leaking heater hose.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
