Title: radiator repairman needed
Post by: rjb/AKA Bob Barram on July 12, 2010, 10:37:51 AM
My radiator has a broken connection that  hooks up to the hose and I need someone that can weld aluminum to put it back on. Know of anyone in the North Texas/Plano area?

Any good Auto Radiator shop should be able to handle the work.. You can check out the Better Business Bureau to see shops complaint issues.

No, but I know someone out of state that does a fantastic job if you find you need them.

You will not need this service but they did a nice job on more than one occasion on both radiators. The welds are much stronger than before, really fill in the area and it's stout!

I took my radiator off my Magna for cleaning to Tiner Radiator in Lewisville.  He did a great job.  He's been around Lewisville for years.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I already found someone else that did their best and I finished the job with JB weld.
I get the coolant today and hopefully will have it on and the bike running by this evening.
