I believe that one off a .... ah .. 906 paysoh :P will fit just about perfect :P :P :lol:
nnnnnnorman , there is some stuff you can get that is designed for exactly this sort of thing ( -ucked if I can remember what its called ) but its for repairing refrigeration evaporators & condensers ( aluminium ones ) , so its good for the temp and the pressure. Its a 2 pack epoxy, and .... I guess you must have commersial refrigeration suppliers in the uk..... probly not much help really ay :) :)

Sorry to go off at a tangent but is it only the 1985 FZ 750 headlight that fits the Paso. I am after a version that dips to the right for use in France.

I believe the radiator-fixin'-stuff you were trying to recall is called "JB-Weld". I successfully used it to repair my fuel tank, when I fractured it around the outlet. I freaked out when I found the leak, and thought it would be weeks and hundreds of dollars.

Wrong. It was 2 days (1 day to let the epoxy harden) and $9 to repair.

JB-weld rocks! It is ideal for repairing leaking radiators too.
