Smoggy Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I have a bowman bl180 heat exchanger and tubestack for bmc 1.5 & 1.8 diesel. It needs a bit of a fettle around one of the hose spigots. Free to a good home (or even a bad home) but a pint would be accepted. Collect from South cambs. or southern broads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailfish18 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I would certainly be interested if it is still up for grabs. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorpo59 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Hi, I need a BL180, my ‘radiator cap’ sheared. Mended once but I’ll replace whole thing assuming it’s relatively ok in terms of pipe work? What does ‘fettle’ around the hose mean please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 Mine has gone but I think some of the bowman's have a threaded in rad cap fitted that you can get as a spare, a good engineering place can probably maching the old one out and tap the thread. Talk to bowman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annv Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Hi where the hoses fit on to the body they can get corrode and need cleaning back to the metal ie fettling. John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
