Chuck a PM @ Rabster or The_Stig, maybe it's an option that can be added easily...
We already have the share feature, which posts a thread link to facebook, so maybe it's just something needing enabled?
My IS300 story so far.... - Sparkystav - 19-05-2019
I had a camera mounted in the front bumper, however being exposed to the elements it soon broke.
gonna install my new one in the passenger side headlight where the full beam is, it will match my mod on the driver side with the intake

In a word mate.....yes!

In a word mate..... No!
Looks to be held on my about a hundred metal tabs?

Ahh that sounds like a right PITA. The only reason I thought that it might have been able to do was because you can buy just the top tank from Toyota.
However, thinking about it, that top tank bit is going to be under a schnitzel load of pressure so its probably not designed to be an easy job.
Is your rad punctured?

Jim it is not advised to open the top or bottom of the clamps on the rads.
All you will find is one rubber seal and access to the fins.
I doubt very much that your be able to re seat it back as it was.
Sorry mate no real short cuts.

Cheers for clearing that up matey. :Sulk:
Luckily though I think I've found a hose connector that I should be able to screw into the snapped off pipe. Its from a spray gun, but has a 5mm diameter threaded male connector on one end and a 1/8" female connector on the other.
With a bit of gentle drilling/tapping I think I should be able to get the 5mm end to screw into the snapped off bit, and then I've got a standard 1/8" connector to put whatever size hose barb on I want.
Then that'll see me good until my Mishimoto radiator and trans cooler arrives

This may be the case.
Strange Toyota sell the tops though? I would have though any excuse to sell you a more expensive part - And that would be an acceptable excuse!
Yes Jim, the rad is leaking, but it's only quite a small hole, somewhere near the middle, you could probably liquid metal it and use the rad.
If ya fancy giving it a go, either changing tops or patching the hole, the whole rad is yours for postage cost, sub £10 I'd imagine.
