Hi all
So my lower road sprung a leak back in Jan when my bike was my daily commuter and a used rad weld as a quick fix - no problem
Now at thfdse final stage of my rebuild, I used a special washing machine at work to clean my rads up and melt out all the crap and bring them up like new, and it did, however it also melted out the radweld, and after rebuilding I still have a leak, a bottle of read weld later, and I still have a leak, so since this is a 'geoff' rad I don't want to give up on it and am considering flushing the system and cutting the core I think has the leak and crimping it.
Any advice on this would be appreciated or tings I should try first gladly received
Cheers
F

From pictures it is the same as geoffs, and it hasn't lasted very well but you can,t complain for the money I guess, I'll be getting it painted next time. :-)

Despite regular cleaning, the fins are too thin and therefore too prone to corroding away, I cannot confirm they are identical to greames, and I have only good things to say about him and my experience with him
