rust on front of chassis leg

[dudload]

update all - i ended up buying a new rad as the old one was in fairly poor shape and i'm not in the market for the repair to fail and it leaking all over the shop on a long journey. The garage put the new one in for free (the least they could do!) and fit the new crankshaft pulley and diff seal that i bought too. not a bad result in the end - new rad looks spiffy!

We used to use 'plastic padding' to successfully patch small leaky areas on
radiator tubes. OK for over-cooled engines but needs more careful consideration if cooling is marginal. Possibly better choices of material these days.

That must rate along with chicken wire to repair dodgy cills!

Nowt wrong with a bit of chicken wire. Mind you, I believe it has to be stainless steel chicken wire for Concours

No, it would have to be the original type.

Can you still use screwed up newspaper or has that been banned now only to be used for recycling
