Hole in the radiator!

[robracer]

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 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

Bugger. Lucky you've got a twin to borrow a radiator from

[robracer]

True, but I have to fix it at some stage
One of my workers walked past the bike this morning & says it's bleeding green I said it only happens
with Kawasaki's

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.

if nanna is no longer in business, you can do the hoffguard 4000.

get your self off to supercheap and get some fuuly siiiiiic mesh stuff and whack it on

[robracer]

Thanks Wattie, I might just do the hoffguard, as for the radiator it looks like I am going to Better Radiator Repairs in Lidcombe
I have had two referals to go there so I will giver them a call & see if they can do it.

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

[robracer]

Yeah MAW use BRR in Lidcombe looks like I am heading to the right place, thanks Glen.

[Wattie]

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

[robracer]

cheers mate, will go some rubber gromets for mounting
As for BRR I am sending the rad over by courier thay said possibly an overnight fix, & they sounded like really nice helpfull people too

[timmyrocks]
