Ozstatman, the photo is from Georgia USA. I'm just a Yank who's smitten with Brit cars and Right Hand Drive (and who has a very understanding wife)!

Big Kev, very astute observation. Yes, picked it up in Charleston last month after its journey from Southampton. I’m guessing you saw my FB post?

Bob J, exactly as I anticipated it should look. The only difference is that my square headed nut was directly into the head. Where did you get the spacer or was that part of the bulb/gauge kit? Thx, Tad

Thanks Howard, that makes sense. I'm guessing if I start small and drill in the middle I might find enough to grab to pull the balance of the bulb out. I just didn't want to be blindly drilling into the head unless it was designed to open to the water passage.

Hi all, newbie here. Just getting to know my ‘37 Convertible Coupe. Glad to have found this thread. I am fortunate in that my square nut to the head comes off readily. Although the capillary tube is broken I’m interested in trying the repair as found in Skinned Knuckles regarding a ‘33 Plymouth. My question is that beneath the bolt past the threads in the head I’m just finding what appears to be the rest of the head. I anticipated finding a hole to the water gallery wear the bulb sits. Do I have a bulb stuck in the head or does the ‘37 Six use something other than a bulb? Thanks much! Regards, Tad
