gtrzilla Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hey guys my mech. noticed that inside the hose on the top tank of my radiator (32 gtr) the "lip" where the radiator hose connects over and then is clamped on has broken off. the hose is held on with a hose clamp atm and still holds fine, but is there any reccomendations rather than replacing the whole radiator for such a small thing Cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/206974-radiator-top-tank/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeTR Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 You could... - Plastic weld a lip back on - Just use two quality hose clamps and leave it. - $280 for one of Fatz 50mm ally radiators - Pay a few more 100 for a Koya etc. - Pay a few more 100 again for a quality PWR.
