I was thinking about doing that to mine. How long is the original bolt, and how long is the slot?

Not cut with slot like the OEM was. I couldn't find the OEM one of course after installing the new radiator so I simply cut a slot into the new bolt. It does bleed much easier with the slot cut than just using an straight bolt!!
