Title: radiator help
Post by: jpinhb on March 24, 2006, 05:21:32 PM

Ok guy's I need a little help , I just found a small leak on the left hand radiator . It has already been rebuilt once or twice and I think it maybe time to get some new ones . Does anyone have a good source for radiator's ?

WHen I needed new ones, I took them down to a local radiator shop and them re-cored. Lots cheaper than new radiators :)

How much did the re-core job cost?

I have some that are past their best on one of my KXs and theres not much in the way of secondhand 500 spares over here in Blightly :-(
