64 Valiant Radiator leaking at top

[bearwolf64]

All

Coming back from Culpeper Car Show yesterday, the radiator developed a leak at the top,just below the cap. Suggestions for replacement or repair?

Triangle, Va.

Thanks

a good radiator shop should be able to fix it

I assume you are talking about the place where the radiator cap neck meets the top tank. Any radiator shop should be able to braze it if it still has the brass radiator in it.

Had the same to mine. I believe it was caused by over 300,000 miles of rushing flow from the top hose. It actually worn thin the metal of the tank's top, I was lucky to find a local shop that had a new top.
But before that replacement, I [twice] made a 'patch' using J. B. Weld and fiberglass. Both lasted about two years each, on my '64 Dart daily driver.
