My 70's 3.0 coupe BMW has a leak in the radiator - any recommendations for somewhere to fix a hole in the brass section?

Thanks,

Advanced Radiators in Newcastle are wonderful. Rebuilt my old Maserati radiator beautifully, my 3000M radiator and even the plastic-capped radiator on the Tuscan.

May be a little far to travel for you though, but may post!

Aaron Radiators in Croydon did a great job re-coring my Interceptor radiator.

I believe they will send you a crate to pack your radiator in if needed but I just dropped mine off.

No connection but a very happy customer.

If you live in Essex or the surrounding area I can certainly tell you one to avoid like the plague if you pm me. I had my vixen radiator done there and it looked like they had given it to the work experience boy to solder up. Need to find some one who can repair the damage now.

I use Guildford Radiators (actually in Cranleigh and somewhere in Leicester too i think)for all of my clients traditionally cored stuff, just box it and mail it to them. 01483 277713 They have just supplied me with a new core and tanks all taped together so I can test fit them in the nose cone of a Tiger Cat!
