Each of said expansion tanks further comprising a tubular insert engaging said collar and defining said inlet mouth; said tubular insert being made of plastic material colored in mass; and retention means which hold said tubular insert relative to said collar. The process comprising making shells identical in shape and size, for all of said expansion tanks; and making inserts that differ in the value of their inner diameter; each inner diameter value being determined at the design stage depending on the type of cooling system and/or the type of engine.
Pin And Grommet Fastener Accommodating Two Directional Offset And Related Methods
An inner housing defines a pin retaining receptacle elongated in an X-direction with entry ramps extending parallel to the X-direction. The inner housing is slidably coupled to an outer housing and extends into an interior thereof. A plurality of centering blades extend into the interior and between the inner and outer housings to locate the pin retaining receptacle in a central position within the interior in a Y-direction prior to insertion of the pin into the pin retention receptacle. The centering blades are movable in the Y-direction to permit the pin retaining receptacle of the inner housing to move to a non-central position relative to the housing in the Y-direction as a result of the inner housing moving the centering blades in response to the pin engaging the entry ramps during insertion of the pin into the pin receiving receptacle. Associated methods are also disclosed.
