Plastic for cooling sucks.

Here's a new one. Not your ordinary plastic rad cracking and leaking....no this was a complete blow out of a plastic stat housing on my SC400. WTH? Make these in metal! You can get these in cast AL for $99 AUS.

Boy just idling waiting for Mom and he hears a pop and steam starts coming out of hood. Shuts it down and calls Dad.....Drove it 1/2 mile home after it cooled and found one at local yard off an LS400. $4.90 new on Rock but 8 days shipping. $49 at Vatozone special order possibly Monday, too late.
