Greetings from Kenya

Does anyone have a spare starboard classic radiator? I could buy the pair if you are selling as a pair. I have a UK address to send to if necessary.

My starboard radiator has sprung a small leak. Has anyone tried Radweld or something similar?

Best,
Richard

Hi,

I took my XS radiator to a repair shop and they aluminum brazed & pressure tested it for $50.00. �Another, less appealing alternative is that when I was researching this I found several examples of JB weld (Black) successfully �being used.

I appreciate you are in Kenya, however the following may help.

I recently had to have my radiator repaired at an annual check.� Europa were unable to provide a replacement at the time.� My engineer, Gary Johnson, found somewhere in the UK some engineers, I believe�they were a motorcycle repair organisation, and they refurbished the radiator and it came back as new at extremely modest cost, far less than replacement.� May I suggest you contact Gary - his e-mail address is <thehighflyer(at)aol.com (thehighflyer(at)aol.com)> and you may be able to post your radiator to the people that repaired mine.�

Alternatively you may be able to find similar motor-bike servicing specialists in Kenya as I understand that the Europa radiators were originally motorcycle radiators with minor modifications made in order to�fit them to the aircraft.
