Re: radiator repair?????????
From what I understand the old brass tanks were soldered on.
I tried to fix one once and all I did was make a big ole mess.
The newer shit has plastic tanks on em, so I dont know about them things

You might be able to use brass up there. I think thats what the factory used.
