Anyone have any experience with radiator repair they would like to share?
I have never done it, I think you need to pressurize the radiator to
15lbs or so find the leaks then patch all the leaks by soldering them.
Wash and repeat until they are all gone.
A new replacement for my '70 from Moss runs ~$200.
If I have to take the rad anywhere to have it repaired, I am guessing
that the labor at todays prices will go up toward the replacement cost
pretty quick. Do they still re-core radiators?
I may be able to do it myself, I remember helping my father do it as a
kid, but have never done it myself. I remember him fighting for quite a
while with a few stubborn leaks on the old International Travelall. My
dad is still around and would probably be willing to help me repair it.
Anyone have any tips/suggestions?
Thanks!
