always gets thrown in to the works?
The Grinnall has had a leaky rad since its been on the road.First i
tried tightening the jubilee clip at the bottom hose(where leak is)
which made it worse!Turns out the braze has gone on the outlet.So being
ever the optimist(having little cash!)i thought i'd bodge it with some
chemical metal.Emptied the rad,flushed it,bodged it!No dice,not having
it!So i looked through my collection of stuff "that might come in handy
one day" to find three TR7 rads and a SD1 rad-8ugger!no good.
Then i thought that seeing as the 'monster'was hibernating for the
foreseeable future that i could nick its rad.Guess what,different inlet/
outlet design,foiled yet again.
My mate,Gary(ngtf)suggested a brazing firm near me,so i gave 'em a call
only to be told they dont do rads.80770x,80770x,80770x!
Finally,at the end of my tether,i find a specialist in Colchester who
reckon they can fix it for about 50 quid,bearing in mind a recon from
Bobsport is £145,seems like the way to go.So tomorrow morning i'll drop
it off and hopefully have it back in the evening to bung it in for the
weekend.
yours frustratedly.......
See ya. Paul
