[Roadsters] Datsun-roadsters Digest, Vol 3, Issue 137

[Steve Jacobson]

I've fixed top radiator tanks on 2 of my tow vans with JB weld.  They've held
for years.  One was a dent/crease worn through from PO prolly dropping a tool
on it, second was similar. Clean it good and work it in.
 
Solder with a
bernzomatice would do well also, a little more skill involved.  Heat the
opening, then apply solder for good adhesion.  Make sure it's not a cold
joint, solder should be fairly shiny and smooth.

Any plumber has a torch, or you
can buy them at the store, "bernzomatic".

ust be careful not to use too much
heat. A trick is to put water in, up to
ust below where you want to solder, it
keeps other things from melting.

The recovery tank
on my '67 1600 is
eaking at the bottom tube, and maybe
rom
the seam.  No
problem, says I, I
ill take it to my friendly
eighborhood
radiator shop and
have it soldered.
78 says the friendly
eighborhood
radiator guy.  WTF?!  I
don't want to buy
n new one, I just
ant it soldered!
That's how much it is,
says he.
ortunately I have the one
ff the crashed
car, so I swapped and am out
riving.  Seriously, is that
rice the going
rate?
