Re: Looking For A Radiator
If your handy with a propane or butane torch you can make most repairs at home. Acid flux and 60/40 lead/tin solder and your in business. You can google "radiator repair pics" and get some ideas on how to approach a repair. I like the little refillable butane torches for pin pointing the heat. I use it soldering and for heat shrink tubing. If your leak is visible like a crack or split in a crossover, use a toothbrush sized wire brush to clean the paint and shine the copper. Smear some acid flux on the crack, use a pair of needle nosed pliers to close the crack. Now your ready to apply the heat, a dab or two of solder and your done. "Nothing fancy"

Re: Looking For A Radiator
I just purchased a 4 core for mine. The manufacturer is called Northern. They are made in Willmar Minnesota. Our diesel mechanic has an account with them. $315 I had to modify the rubber inserts.
