The necks do not screw off. All of them that I have ever seen have been plastic heated together (melted). I have a brand new one of these tanks sitting here if you want it. These are $80. New neck, nipple and all. It does not come with a new metal cap but you can reuse your old one for now and we could get you a new one for $11 if you felt your really wanted a new one. Let me know.

I have an 831/2 water cooled , the nipple on the expansion tank broke off . My expansion tank is the type with the standard radiator cap, the nipple comes off the neck of the expansion tank. I don't know if I could switch this entire tank with one of the tanks that has the nipple coming off the cap itself or not. I would prefer to get another neck for my tank,as I understand it the neck is supposed to screw off of the body of the tank.I spoke with the local dealership , they claim that they are not able to get these necks from the factory any longer. I am located in Iowa. |
