split swirl pot

[markey b]

anyone on here ever had this?

missus had my car this eve (the raider) and i got a call sayin she parked and it was leaking, drove up to the car and it was wet under o/s front, header tank was almost empty, so poured in some water and it gushed out the swirl pot.

somehow it had split open on the seam, are they glued together from the factory?

i've now cleaned it all up and superglued it back together, will this be ok?

I just get a new one or second hand don't think super glue will hold it for long.

I have a spare if you want it mate. Pm me your address and ill get it in the post for you.

i know of a couple of people this happened to, i got a alloy one to prevent it

Thinking about it, superglue won't stand a chance, think about the pressure that the coolant system sits at when the engine is warmed up, no way glue alone will hold it
