The top outlet on my Ruby engine had failed when I bought the car and the previous owner had bent a piece of threaded rod into a hook shape and put it around the half of the bridge that was left. It was a poor bodge and always leaked. I made a piece from 1/8th steel plate drilled and tapped for the stud but having no welding gear made it a bit wider and used a longer stud so that it would fasten up under the original bridge. Works well. I was at first concerned that it would partially obstruct the water flow and lead to boiling but 15 years on no problems and no boiling.

Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.
