And when will the BDR guys jump into this thread and tell us how "Brand X" NEVER leaks and how fast Suzy Creamcheese's silver car is????
Mark IV, still fiesty I see... Fine, I'll play along, we have special leak-proof BDR only radiators, you should order one from Cashburn. My friend with an SPF replaced the clamps and fixed his leak (yes, I have friends and yes, some have SPF or FFR's and we still talk to eachother)

My silver car is not that fast though, I don't have the "well built SMALL BLOCK FORD" that Tony Martin drove to set the low E.T. at Road America.
