Hey guys

got a problem with my radiator. the place where someone drilled (the person who put the ae86 radiator in it, not me) through it to put a thermo fan on it has ruptured a vein. the leek isnt overly big but is bad for this weather.
its a ke70 with a 4age, but has the sprinter rad, with mounts that are welded to the chassis.

what i want to knnow is, what can i do about this in terms of places in adelaide who can fix this or replace this? what are my options
any help would be appreciated.

cheers

joe

If the hole is small, shoot down to your local supershit auto and get some radiator repair shit. I'm not sure what its called but it is a 2 part grey epoxy and works a treat to patch small rad holes or leaks. I had the same issue with my fan cutting a hole in my rad. Patched it up and never had an issue since.
