    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Anyway to do a fast patch on a cracked radiator ?
I've tried epoxy patching, but I think the heat is too much and it failed too.

I'm open to any opinions.
My last resort is a new radiator, but I'm hopin for a less costly solution.

Thanks for your help.
 
WHat type of GS do you have with a radiator? Maybe a GT Water buffalo? I don't think you'll find a quick fix for a radiator. JB Weld seems to hold up in muffler applications but I don't know aboout the radiator end of things. Maybe a local shop can weld, heli arc or braze it for you depending on material made of.

Gerry;
It's not for a cycle...it's automotive.
I tried the JB Weld...maybe I made the patch too thin...but it failed.
I might try doin it again with a thicker patch next time and see how it goes.

Thanks for you suggestion
 
Other than a bottle of Stop-leak, the only way is to get some acid-core solder, a propane torch, and remove the radiator and repair.
