John,
I had some pinhole leaks in the tank on my TR3A. I couldn't get the
radiator repaired properly because there was no way to remove it from the
car without major body work. I used a combination of radiator sealer
inside, JB weld around the filler spout thingy (technical term), and then
some spray stuff. I can get the brand names for you if you like.
Eventually it held pretty good.
Bob
