I need to retain the overflow pipe on to the radiator header tank. I imagine it was soldered in place through the side wall of the tank. Unfortunately I cannot just pull it out of the tank & plug the hole as there is a lot of pipe inside the header tank and I can't remove it without damaging it. I Just need to stop it leaking temporarily while I run the engine (and the car) around a bit. The rad will have to come off to do it properly, but what might hold it? Chewing gum, plumbers putty, araldite? I can't clean it up very well as access is not great so araldite probably won't hold. nor would fibreglass resin.
So something a bit better than a bodge!
Annoyingly the ammeter is showing a discharge, the dynamo reads lots of volts across it's terminals and it used to show a charge before I rewired it....where do I start? I suppose the *****switch board will have to come off ...again!
