I am putting together a parts list for a complete
coolant system replacement---which I hope will go smoother
than my first order for fuel line replacement, which was a
veritable baptism by fire!
Questions:

1.  Should I replace my primary coolant tank, along with the
already cracked & replaced expansin tank?  Is the primary
known to become brittle just the same as the expansion one?

2.  Should I replace the pressure cap (if separate)?

3.  Should I replace the thermostat?

4.  What sort of clamps/connectors?  How many?

5.  Is there any other part of this general system that I should
pay attention to or any other part/s I need to order?  I really
want to do this job right!

6. Finally, are there any small, but *critical details* I should
know about, so I pass it on gently to my mechanic?
