Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Radiator leaking

Due to a radiator leak Matt-Mog was out of use.



The leak was on top of the radiator and could not access it without removing the cowl.



Seems easier to me than disassembling the radiator. No need to deflate.



Found in this thread (Page 2) something about removing the nipple and went for it.





It came out very easily.
But not as it should be! Hardly used force or pressure.



What now?
I found out that this is not a Morgan part and couldn't find a replacement.
A new radiator? Maybe,
But; I'm an old-school engineer “why replace it if it can be repaired"

let's go for it.
First find the right O-ring. The number of different sizes is infinite. Had to do 2 shops for the right one.

Put it back in and it fit perfectly. But now he has to stay in place.
My first thought was to stick something between the top bracket and the nipple.
But because they can move in relation to each other, not a good idea. Then I saw the mounting screw behind the nipple!
Made a bracket (squared?) that presses on the nipple.



Did a test ride without cowl and bonnet. Everything okay all reassembled and in the meantime I already have a few 100 Km without any problem.





Cost 50 cents ant lots of fun. If needed can still replace, now know where to start.
