Not my night

Had to get a new glow pulg relay, so as I was putting in, besides being 5 degrees out and with the wind blowing it was about -20 degrees out. So I was standing on a bucket putting it in when I was getting to the last wire to put on, the red power wire, put it on the terminal and the terminal broke and lost my balance and broke the tube outlet for the coolant tank with my arm. Anyone know where I can get a new bottle without going to the sealership.

Sounds like something that would happen to me.. I think the only way to get one other than used would be from the dealer or from discount ford parts.

I would try tapping a hole and putting a brass nipple in, or bring the tank inside where it's warm, and JB weld the nipple back on, at least it'll work temporarily.

Found it on Direct Ford Parts for $56.03. Not a bad price.

That's the smarter move. Trying to repair plastic is not worth it IMO.

If you haven't ordered yet try Ed at Y2K ford parts also. I have found he is usually a little less, and a great guy to deal with. They are a sponsor.

Good thing it broke then, and not later!
