Looks good. I worked a lot with Lexan at the Shipyards. Lexan, you can bend it in half, hit it with a hammer, all good. But use a dull drill bit, craaaakkk. I made a Lexan one first, it was great. The only thing, they scratch with fine dust. It doesn’t look bad until you drive with the sun in your face. Mine was good for probably two years before it got bad. I still have it. Just in case. :)

So you don't have #9? That's the connection to #4 that was leaking passed the clamp.
No, the rubber hose goes directly to the engine. Topped up the coolant tank, only took 3.5 ounces to hit the max line. Didn't drive it much because I was working with some of my sporting clays students most of the day.

Funny thing, just got my truck back from the body shop due to a fender bender last month. They had left a tool on top of the engine jammed in a corner. Couldn't figure out what it was until I looked down and saw a bunch of new push pin rivets like we have a million of on the P5. Removal pliers and they work great! Much better than the BBQ fork thing I've got.
