Yeah he's proly old school like me, from way back in the 1900's, when radiator tanks were metal...

I did consider JB-Welding mine, until I read this thread, and it would seem that both tanks are soon doomed once one starts leaking, so...

Re: Radiator crack

I got my new radiator from Advanced (promo used), but it was a Delphi one that was drop shipped directly from their usa factory. Plastic repair on my cracks lasted for about 6 months. I new it would not last.
