#7433 - 08/26/02 07:26 PM Broken Rad Supports?
TyzToyz User Registered: 06/07/02 Posts: 517 Loc: Calgary, AB Canada	Has anyone ever ran into the rad coming apart from the bracket at the top? Can this be re-welded or fastened somehow? The rad itself is still in decent shape, so I am hoping to salvage it.

Kinda like soldering... Welding would make really big holes... _________________________ _________________ '82 Toy P/U with rust SQUIRREL POWER!!!!

TyzToyz User Registered: 06/07/02 Posts: 517 Loc: Calgary, AB Canada	Thanks Sushi, Have you ever had any repaired? Who could do this procedure? Could I do it with a propane torch? Just wondering if I should just be looking for a new rad or not.

Can't remember how much, but it was a pretty good deal I think. _________________________ _________________ '82 Toy P/U with rust SQUIRREL POWER!!!!

So I don't really want to replace something if the current one is woking. But ya never Know! Thanks though!
