Chemical metal

<< < (2/2)

Guardian.:
that is a really crap method, they fitted my paccet fan like that to a new rad and wasnt long before vibration knackerd the rad.
i would make yourself some decent brackets.
would love to meet the  'engineer' who designed that, shal have to go to sons primary school he could be in his class.

Range Rover Blues:
Get it brazed or soldered, don't trust chemical metal to hold antifreeze back indifinitely and if it fails it can be expensive.

Alternatively try radweld or K-Seal.

Terranosaurus:
Chemical metal should do the job perfectly IMHO - but you need the right one, ie an Alloy one if you've got an ally rad or a brass/copper one if you have a copper rad. I've seen rads repaired quite well using body filler but I think that should be left as a trail fix rather than a permanent one. Good quality Chemical metal however would be a permanent fix. I've reattached exhaust manifold stud lugs on cast iron heads with chemical metal in the past.

burgerman:
Got the rad brazed up this morning, and will be making a metal brace to fit the fans to, so no part of it  touches the fins, also with hindsight will be hindged to allow better cleaning of the rad in future, cheers for all the replies,
