radiator repair

HAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! i finally got it to stop leaking. I cut all the products i saw were used out and i plasti welded it. Yes i bought a plastic wleder off ebay a week or two ago for something else and i was able to use it on this. It came out pretty good and i am looking foward to driving my baby a little more. But its not a bad investment for anyone who has an air line at home.

Of the things I tried fiberglass was the worst.

I had it plastic welded initially and it only lasted about a day. The permanent fix would be to use an all aluminum radiator.

thats the plan but the plastic weld is holding up good right now.

The magnum steel fix on the radiator I started this thread about (in 2001) still has not failed. What has failed is the plastic has now cracked on the backside of the top. These repairs can hold up, but the real problem of the deteriorating plastic will eventually come back.
