So my radiator was leaking at the neck, Jerry gave me a link to a place where I could order a replacement for a good price and I did. This was a little over a month ago.
Since I had to wait for the new radiator to arrive, I decided to solder the neck with pipe solder and a torch and see what happens.
The leak:
Cleaned with a wire brush, and soldered the neck:
Painted it:
I have not had the time to install the new radiator. To my surprise the solder has held up fine since I did this a month ago, and I have been driving the heck out of the TJ. Here's a pic I took of it today:
Not a bad temporary cheap fix in my opinion incase of a neck leak and funds are tight.
