  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

250-500cc JP weld on busted radiator tab

Common problem I'm sure...

The upper shroud bolt tab snapped off and the shroud is flapping in the breeze.

Will JB Weld make a suitable repair?

I want to fix it before the lower tab goes away too.

Thanks
 
na use lumiweld that stuff u heat with a propane torch good stuff I use it all the time jp weld is sorry complete and utter crap in my opinion if it came down to jp weld and duck tape I would use duck tape
 
I had the same issue and attached a little steel tab with a sheet metal screw right through the aluminum side of the radiator.Two years, lots of crashes and it's still going strong.Pre drill the hole in the tab for the shroud first and don't use a long screw that will damage the radiator.
 
On my last trip away we I cracked the core in the very top corner of my rad.

Pulled the fins out around it which also put holes in the core too.

JB welded it up and left it for about 2 hours.

Done 30 hours since then and no probs.

AWESOME STUFF!!!

I JB welded it last night and I'm going to rivet a reinforcement out of aluminum sheet over it.

I see the point about using a short screw if you screw it on.
 
I have used JB Weld for years with very good results. Have had BAD results with the JB Quick.
