Hello,

Does anyone have experience repairing a leaky radiator with lead/tin solder
(60/40) ?

I mean at the piont where the water channels are connected with the top of
the rad.

I put the whole thing in our bath and pumped it up with a bicycle tyre pump
with manometer. In the bath you can exactly see the tiny leaks by small air
bubbles.

Thanks.

John.

They are about ?60-00 new ,,, or ?75-00 from parts shop
deal direct with the radiator specialists,
(as your local parts shop, is the middle man)
so cut him out
look in yellow pages,, auto radiator specialist in your area,
