I keep a cup of black ordinary table pepper in glove box in case of leaks in
an emergency, short term fix usually untill one can get to a rad shop. I
have soldered mine on the top seam, but am sure someone here can give you
good instructions, real clean area to be soldered is a must.
Regards,
Don. in Sask. Can.

Subject: [oletrucks] More Radiator Issues
> I can't seem to find anyone in the radiator business who wants to repair a
small leak in my 235's rad. Everyone wants to recore it. It doesn't need
an expensive recore. The rad works fine and keeps the engine cool - I just
need to fix one small leak at the front. Unfortunately I don't know how to
fix it myself. Can anyone lead me to some instructions on soldering or
brazing (or whatever you do to an old radiator).
