so my radiator has a couple pin hole leaks from the wategate rubibg up on it, (yeah me being dumbass), so I took it to a radiator shop and they said it cant be braised, so has anyone done this or tryed it out, I really dont want to buy another radiator, and I dont see a justification in running a stock on, so anyone>?

Another option: If they're small, that radiator stop leak (the pellets) work great. I did this on my chevelle years ago on the oem (I now have a new alum. unit), after a razor blade fell onto the fan, and cut a bunch of the tubes on the radiator, causing a good leak. Put that stuff in and it held for years!
