Paid a price for the spirited putty run yesterday, I am now the proud owner of a hole on my radiator. So my next point of contact is Nana for a guard :roll: guys get one..... NOW! & don't end up in this situation it sux :?

Can any Sydney peeps recommend a repairer or do I just go to Natrad

natrad would be my choice,

on my red rocket it split a tube thing, the cut it at both ends and folded them over so it didnt use that tube.

simple and quick.

i couldnt see it being too much of a problem, you would loose a poofteenth of cooling capacity. but nothin huge.

just make sure they dont hit it with the black paint to make it look new for ya. :?

MAW organised the fix on my 426 mate. Not sure who they used though but it was quick and cheap.

if you do the hoffguard, put some rubber around the edge (i think Hoff and Nanna do) to stop it rubbing. 8)
