Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Coolant leaking from T-fittings

...today I had a look at my Mog... no prints in sight. Sorry for the wrong information.

Just today: fluid on the garagefloor.

At first I was in panic. Brakefluid? Open the bonnet… wet around the clutchcylinder. (Noticed later that it was the clutch, not the brake).
Also a little wet the pipe from the reservoir to the cylinder… oh a bad news.

Closing the bonnet I had look in the enginebay - what‘s that? There was a little paper from the last service. The notice was washed.

Now remembering this post and have a more detailed look. Also the screws are a little bit loose. So I tight them.

But now looking for a metal T-piece. In cause of trouble with parcels from Britain in the past I think about a „homebuy“.

Has someone the diameters I need?

Renee can you post a photo?

Hello John,

in cause I use IPhone and IPad I wasn‘t able to post pictures here. I think I‘ve got your email.

But it‘s the same t-piece as in the first picture. After my pulse was a little down, the fluid wasn‘t oily and the garagefloor
more like watered than oiled.

Here are Renee's photos. I think he is talking about the T in the last photo that maybe SiFab make an ali version of.

Yes well worth changing to the SIFab T piece

Well done Simon

At first thank John you for posting the pictures!

And Craig Jezz: what a wonderful stuff in your enginebay!

As I can see it‘s a „special“. A Saturday I meet a friend of a friend who is a very good welder.
I think I must pay for his beer.

But: has someone the measure? It‘s only for my own use! no commercial interest!

Brake fluid feels a little 'oily' between the fingers

Water with antifreeze tastes 'sweet' if you're brave

And not a cat!! .... really poisonous to Mogs

I always wipe up any trace of coolant spillage as they like it but it kills them ☹

Looks like standard 5/8" heater hose to me?
If so, no need to have special T pieces made up, brass tees are off the self at Car Builders Solutions at £5.40 (or plastic at £4.20).
