Fellow fiends:
Well, as with the dawn, progress on the '63B is both slow but
inevitable. Today I dropped the radiator off for leak testing.
I am doubtful as there is a green precipitate/stain on the
engine side of the core. Anticipating a failed test on this
radiator, I have a few questions:
Is it true that (at least prior to the electric fan days) that
any particular MGB radiator will fit in any particular MGB, and
function as needed? Remember: I am fitting to a '63.
What is the net.wisdom on replacement of the radiator core vrs.
getting a whole new radiator (side stepping the issue of whether
a new one is even available)?
Approaching that issue directly: is a "new" radiator
available from some parts source for my '63 B? Where?
What $$$?
Optimistically: Can leaky cores be reliably repaired?
These are probably well within the FAQ zone, but if someone
out there in net.land has recently dealt with this subject
themselves and have advice/information, you could just post
it directly to me (and not waste list space).
Thanks for the time,
Will "I'll be cruisin' by July" Zehring
