View From The Antipodes
Hi all you cold weather Carrier owners - personally if I were in your situation, instead of using anti-freeze, I would drain all the water out of the system, i.e. motor and radiator and then write a bloody big note to remind you to refill the system before use.

Block drain pipes & mounting bracket
The mounting bracket aligns the two extensions tubes from the left and right side drain petcock(s). Once aligned, it allows the coolant to be drained through the single hull opening.
These bits are from an early 1944 build date Canadian Mk. II*, with the standard C81 221 CID engine block. Last edited by Michael R.; 24-06-12 at 19:27.
