Bryan,

That was probably me. I used X-treme Tape (brand name) silicone tape. It's
pretty easy to find.

Just as an update, last month (still running with my repaired plastic
H-connector), I suffered a loss of coolant. Of course I figured that the
H-connector had split further (after all it'd been about four months) but
what happened was I had broken one of the plastic clips on the firewall that
holds the rubber hoses up. The hose fell onto the exhaust manifold and
ruptured. The repaired H-connector never leaked, but I replaced it anyway,
and will carry it as a spare. I'm still in the process of hammering out some
copper pipes to replace the rubber hoses with (yes, I have a penchant for
doing things the hard way!)     : )

A while back someone posted a link to some emergency tape you can carry for
patching coolant tubes. I can't find it in the archives.  Anybody have a
link for that?

Thanks,
Bryan
