    The ongoing saga that is my bike. Rad is split (really small). Can it be
    welded, or liquid metalled up? A new one is £200!!!!!
    I also need the rad protectors as they were so brittle that the broke when I
    took them out!
    My gawd, this is costing a fortune!!

    A quick google popped up:

    Dixon Radiator Repairs - Classic car radiators

    UK,
    Tel: 01734 415252

    or
    http://www.radiators.fsbusiness.co.uk/

    Are they first places I would try.

    There are usually chaps who can recondition these sort of things in the
    local motor rags.

    Linger was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:
    Soldered, not welded. I assume that the tanks are metal and not
    plastic?
    <thinks hard>

    Did you check the names of the previous owners when you bought it?

    Is that right? Do you not weld aluminium?
    No log book on a crosser. Have you ever owned a CR250

    It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember "Linger"
    You can weld ally quite the thing, if you're a good enough welder.
    Iow, take it to someone. The local rad makers/repairers will probably be
    able to do it anyway.

    Cheers, I'd rather have a reccomendation. I took it to a local enjineering
    firm who welded it for a tenner.
    However, it still leaks!!!!
    I shall be returning tomorrow.
