Dwight FitzSimons Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I think the LeMay Museum later corrected this one, because there are pictures of 63R1001's engine with the expansion tank's cap on the passenger's side. I suspect that none was made by Studebaker with the cap on the driver's side. Probably many of these expansion tanks have been opened up (due to a leak) and re-soldered backwards by mistake. My Avanti R5255 has a beautifully redone expansion tank. The radiator cap was indeed soldered on backwards by the shop, but the then owner of the car made them reverse it. --Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64studeavanti Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I had one repaired about 20 years ago. He soldered the water inlet backward. Did not notice until 5 years ago when I had trouble replacing upper hose. Fixed it then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
