Anyone have a northernish radiator shop they like? Recently discovered that the overflow nipple on my radiator is broken off and need to have it fixed.

I have the same issue, but have lost the nipple.

Thanks, zilla! I'm thinking about trying it myself, but haven't ever done it. I may take you up on your offer just to make sure it gets done right. If your soldering looks anything like your welding it'll come out gold plated and add 15 horsepower. BFD, I'm also missing the nipple, so I'll have to track one down.

Very cool! Thanks! Are you available this weekend? The truck isn't running but I can pull the radiator and bring it down.

OK, that should work. I'll pull the radiator and give you a call after it is out to figure out a time that will work for you. I'm wide open, so pretty much anything should be fine. The wife wants to do some shopping Sunday for out baby that is due in a few weeks, but that is flexible.

All you need is copper or brass tubing that fit and you can flux and solder it in
