Subject: Re: Radiator Sock Arrangement on 4.5L
Thanks Bill,
I cannot find any top hat filters in the Club spares catologue.

The previous forum discussion on this topic is
http://www.lagondaforum.com/showtopic.php?id=956&q=Radiator+Filter

I am not sure the commercially available in line conical filters will be as effective as a sock. On the LG45 they would have to 'face up hill' inside the top radiator hose. I think ideally something that sits in the radiator top tank would be best.

However, I would be most interested to hear from any sock users as to whether they also have a loss of coolant from where the sock is sandwiched between the top casting and the hose under the jubilee clip? It may be as simple as using 2 jubilee clips which I may yet try
