I'm working on my Dad's old MT and the radiator is close to being shot. He doesn't want to spring for a new one and I thought I'd try and fix it the best I could. My plan was to seal it up best I can and apply a small amount of air pressure and then spray some soapy water at it and look for bubbles and try to JB Weld them shut. Soldering or brazing is probably out of the question because I'm afraid the thing is just too thin and corroded. Dad said he took it to a radiator shop twenty some years ago and they told him there wasn't anything they could really do for it and it's painfully obvious that someone has globbed on plenty of solder in years past. I know what it really needs is a new one but that won't happen until it someday becomes mine. Any better ideas or am I already doing about all there is to do?
