Yeah, everyone p-mailed.  I tried a couple of times to re-post to the
group... at least the replies that helped.

Right now, I've got a piece of latex glove as gasket/thread tape with the
broken cap on top.  The BusDepot sending me new cap.  I'm having Autometrics
in Berkeley check out other parts of the heater core and a general once-over
since I just got the van.

Right now I'm trying to figure out how to remove the carpet and associated
support boards and mating.  They're all soaked with antifreeze and I'd like
to chuck the carpet, clean-up the support boards, and hose out the bottom of
the passenger area before we go on any camping trips
