I did, I use a flexible radiator hose (I took out the interior
spring, but I could have left it in) and I used a screw
clamp to keep it on the main pipe.  I have not found a
really good plug for the top of the flex-hose, but I use a
generic rubber plug, it has worked fine except for ONCE
(in 4 years) the cap jumped off and got caught down by
the alt belt and caused the alt/water pump belt to jump off
and I had a MAJOR over-heat.  Malcolm
