David, Hi,
I bought a "refound" 76'B in '98. One of the first repairs was the
radiator. I took it to a local shop for an exorcism. While there I
asked if a tap could be put in it since there was no tap present. No
problem and I've had none since. The shop did it; I didn't. I change the
fluid every year so it is
pleasant to be able to drain it easily.
