Unobtainium Supplies: EZBleed Thermostat Bolts & Radiator Bleed Thumb Screws

I've received several PMs asking about these. While they were mentioned in a couple of older threads, they do take some digging to locate.

EZBLEED THERMOSTAT BOLTS:

EZBleed Thermostat Bleed bolts are now available. They look just like shiny new OEM thermostat bleed bolts, but work like radiator bleed screws, & come with a new washer.

BLEEDING THE OLD MESSY WAY:
W/O a the EZBleed, to bleed the radiator you have to:
- Remove the thermostat bleed bolt. The air will come out in a hurry, followed by a pencil sized fountain of coolant( You'll want a BIG wad of towels handy!).

- Now put the OEM bolt back in (Don't rush too much & drop the bolt!) & clean up the mess.

BLEEDING THE EZ WAY:
With the EZBleed Radiator Bolt, you just loosen the bolt until you hear air escaping, then tighten the bolt again when you see coolant appear. A quick wipe to take care of the coolant & you're done.

The picture shows a copper washer. I will continue shipping with copper washers until the current inventory is depleted. However, after that I expect to ship with a reuseable fiber washer.

Just finished a run of the EZBleed thermostat bolts, & am working on the radiator bleed screws, should finish it Wednesday.

 

I just haven't been able to get the machining time down to my original estimate. Also, I've had to add an order processsing charge to the shipping & insurance.

The EZBleed price is now: $25 each + $9.60 S&I.

I thought I'd already posted this change back in June, but apparently for got to hit the submit button. I'm sorry if recent invoices have caused confusion.

 

Luigi,
You've got a PM.

 

I just sold out. Please bear with me, I have material on order, should come in in about a week, will take me about another week to finish some more. I ordered enough brass stock so that I shouldn't get low again for 8 or 9 months.

I'm taking orders now for the batch that will be available in about 2 weeks.

 

Sorry, forgot I'd promised to let you know when they were on the shelf again.
For pricing, see post #5, ordering info is in post #1.

 

Yes, both are back in stock. Sorry for the inconvenience while I was running some more off.

 

The EZBleed price is now: $25 each + $6.95 S&I.
The Radiator Thumbscrew Price is now: $35 each + $6.95 S&I.
Or $6.95 S&I will cover shippping for up to 3 of any type.
