Re: hole in radiator

Dear Casey:

If a tube has a hole that will require some careful work.

You need a good liquid flux like Ruby and 60/40 solder (60 tin/40 lead), and a good hot propane torch.

Once the metal is tinned you can fill the hole, but most radiator shops might just pinch it off if it non-serviceable.

If there is any corrosion, forget it, but you can try to pickle the area first with hydrochloric acid.

Hope this helps
