Here is my version of Tom's tools.
Automotive freeze plugs, and some garden hose repair fittings, and a cheap inline shutoff valve adapter.
Drill a hole slightly undersized for the hose fittings and press the garden hos repair fitting in.
Instead of using just one freeze plug per adapter, use 2 and glue them together, otherwise a single wide has a tendency not to stay in place.
Simply insert them into the existing radiator hose, and use the existing hose clamps. If they leak like mine did, I just wrapped some electrical tape around so it would fit tighter in the coolant hose.
Cheap/easy to make. Works OK for occasional use.
