Rad repair

I've got a small crack in my rad somewhere( I'll know tonight when I pull it off). Is there anywhere in Calgary that would be able to fix this?

do a search in this section and you will find a thread on the subject. I am not sure how to link to it or I would save you the time. It is on the 2nd page somewhere.

Sorry MtnBlue, You asked me this also.

I have used Tops Radiator on 40th AveNE. I have had 2 repairs and he fixed it first time both times.

Tell him you read it on RMDRA. (I want to sell him ads in the future)

Thanks fella's I'm going to have a look tonight. The leak is small. I wonder if that rad repair stuff will work for a quick fix?? I'm going to try it

I have used Calgary Radiator in the past. It might be worth a look on e-bay for a used rad.

It's amazing what you'll keep from old bikes. I had a slightly tweaked, but not leaking left side rad from my previous 01 WR. Thank god for that, cause new rads are expensive

This stuff is bad news! Good to get you home from the bush only. I would never use it. I would solder the leak if at all possible, it's not difficult with the right flux etc.

Rad shops are great at soldering, definately the way to go.
