    plugs. Preferably cone type like in the pic but i could do with straight sizes if cant find cone. Hole or no hole in centre doesnt matter i can always drill one out. Around the size of 37mm. Its for a flush gun (engine coolant flush) so needs to fit in inlet water hose, i have no idea where to start any one have any idea?:| [image]http://www.mustangmods.com/data/676/gun.jpg [/image]

    Maybe try Bunnings>>>

    or other hardware stores. They kinda look like door bump stops.

    why not braise a hose fiiting to a

    37mm chunk of round metal disc with a hole drilled in the centre (like the vacuum leak tester). Then you can connect it the the inlet pipe with a length of radiator hose and hose clamps.

    I thought about that but involves more

    running around (when i should be at school lol), first getting the metal then going to someone to weld up, also needs to be stainless or alum for it not to rust. Will possibly do this if i have no choice. Will surely work better though, and good idea if i was using this more then once. But for now im looking for quikest cheap alternative which is a rubber plug like in the pic with drilled hole runnning through. Brass Y nipple fitting. Attatch compressor hose to one end, water hose to another, put top bit in the rubber plug and presto my car will be back on road :p soon.

    Went to clark rubber got perfect fit thanx

    guys.Last thing i need is about 1m of air compressor hosing. And a "3/8inch male air compressor fitting into a hose nipple fitting". Any one know roughly how much each of them will cost?Cheers
    Ps: if any one ever wants to borrow this just ask, not the best creation but it should work well, save your self the money/time making one.

    There is a place in Frankston.....>>

    Just over the road from Kananook Station where I have purchased airline fittings and such before. I can't remember the costs because it was part of a larger purchase but you shouldn't have any problem getting such items from a good industrial tool shop.
