    Leaky radiator

    Hi guys found this leak in the radiator its on the passengers side right at the top where the pop rivets are in the top plate

    not sure if the plate can be removed to get better view or access to be able to re solder it up

    anyone got any hints or help in the area

    The top & bottom plates are secured by the rivets shown.

    If it were mine, I'd be taking the radiator out & inspecting the core. If it's still fairly solid (fins aren't breaking up), I'd get a radiator shop to strip it down, rod the core (clean it out) & solder the tanks back on again.

    That way the leak is fixed & you know the radiator is good for another 10 years .
