Coolant Recovery Parts???

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by Grumpy AuContraire, May 22, 2006.

  1. The return elbow on my '83 Civic has a large crack in it thus preventing
    coolant from being returned to the radiator following shut down.

    Somewhere, I came across this item (coolant recovery tank) at a source
    that was quite inexpensive but at the time did not realize I had a
    problem with my original unit.

    Is there a source for this item? I tried Majestic and other vendors
    that use the same catalog system which appears contrived at best without
    success. The "systems" option appears to be quite limited and not very direct.

    I also need the A/C fan for a 1500 since I installed a 1500 radiator in
    the FE.

    Any ideas?

    TIA

    Not sure I'm understanding, but the coolant reservoir for an
    83 Civic DX 1500 appears in the drawing at the link:

    Click on the "Return to... " link to backtrack and adjust
    the model.

    www.cheapesthondaparts.com (Colorado) may beat Majestic's
    (Rhode Island) prices, especially shipping. Get the part
    numbers from www.slhonda.com , and plug them into
    cheapesthondaparts.com's search engine.

  3. Ahhh, the links worked perfectly. I found everything that I need of
    which the "joint" (elbow) for the recovery tank is a whopping $1.19 and
    all I need for the condensor fan is the shroud. My current fan/motor
    should bolt right in.

    I'll order the parts from Majestic and pick 'em up when I go back to RI
    for a month in three weeks or so.

    Much Appreciation,

  5. Not in these heeyah parts... Them thangs long gone with scrap prices so high...

    I found the items (elbow and cap) I need (courtesy of Elle) at Majestic
    and will order today.
