Re: Can you solder top rad tank on 1986 Honda

Autozone and Advance Auto Parts show $83.00 USD for that radiator. I have stitch welded a plastic reservoir that was pressurized, by heating with heat gun and melting crack with soldering iron while placing in extra plastic, similar a metal weld. But I kept extra coolant and two vise grips that could close off those lines to the bottle if it broke apart. Only did it because a new one wasn't available for that car and every one I found in the junk yard was also cracked. For ease of mind, go with the new. Fixing plastic is only a last resort.
