Title: rad Post by: skates on February 25, 2012, 02:50:11 PM just done my core plug but as i was removing the rad i noticed that the rad has a metal cradle that the rad sits in. the thing is its rusted and snapped. can u buy this or will i have to get a whole new rad
Title: Re: rad Post by: RODeo on February 25, 2012, 05:03:08 PM I think you may be reffering to the side pieces which have 2 holes per side with captive nuts? . These pieces are soldered to the rad @top and bottom. when I had my rad recored they renewed the side pieces
Title: Re: rad Post by: skates on February 25, 2012, 06:02:27 PM looks like a new rad then
Title: Re: rad Post by: RODeo on February 25, 2012, 06:17:40 PM If the rad is ok,why not buy the side pieces and solder them yourself? OR if the soldered top and bottom ends are ok ,cut the rotten bit out and pop rivet some homemade plates in? My Rad was IIRC about £75 to recon.(new core and sides)
Title: Re: rad Post by: skates on February 26, 2012, 04:27:27 PM do u know where i can buy the side bits?
Title: Re: rad Post by: RODeo on February 26, 2012, 07:17:40 PM I reckon any rad reconditioners should have them .
