D'oh! The vibrations from the long neck of the TR3 radiator can cause
the neck (extension) to develop leaks at the base. I've met other owners
of early TR4s (with the TR3 radiator too) who shortened the neck -- one
back in '65. My radiator leaks there now, and I'll likely shorten the neck
when I have it repaired. I used JB Weld for a temporary, imperfect repair.
