What could I use to fix it?It came apart at the top and the bottom is starting to come off to.Ideas?I heard that it could be JB welded together and still take daily abuse but I want to hear from you guys on this matter.

Do you have a propane torch??? If you do you can use Rosin core solder to put it back together. Just make sure that metal is clean before you start. You can get a torch at a home improvement store for well under $50 and the solder is cheap also.

Use solder to hold it together?Think thats a strong enough hold?

 

Solder is used to assemble brass radiators. Solder will also bond better to brass than JB weld. If you took it to a radiator shop they would most likely solder or use a higher temp brazing rod. Brazing is a little more difficult for the first timer that is why I mentioned solder. It's much more difficult to put a hole in the radiator with a propane torch than a mixed-gas torch.

 

OK,I'll fix later then.Thanks Again

 

yeah thats what we do is take it to a radiator shop and they will rod it out and resolder the supports (i think they have to take em off anyways)

That's what I did to mine. Cost me about $30. Just like new.
