lower rad-fitting
seems like i have developed a leak on the fitting that the lower hose goes into the rad.
it was like this 3 years ago when i bought my 80 & it has held fine , running at 195 deg.
can this be welded, mig/tig or sodered ?
what is the material made of ?
the rad is near perfect for almost 30 years - just the leaking lower fitting leaking.
Had a great run to Tobermory & back (4 hours each way) this past week-end.
