Plastic Radiator Repair Question and Story (Medium Long)

[Peter Berrevoets]

Mine broke off three months ago - quite irritating to say the least but it's
been on for at least 6000 km no problem.  In fact I just did a run to new
york city and back 1780km in 27 hours (stopped in for some business). I had
forgotten it broke until I just read your post.
