What type of plastic rods would be needed to fix a crack in a car radiator?

I think I would try JB weld before I tried to weld a hard plastic like a radiator tank. For the most part I have found they do not weld very well unless you have a lot of experience as it is a special plastic that can stand up to very high temperatures.

Urethane Supply Company has welding rods specifically for plastic radiators. You can check their website here for the kit and there are videos on the page demonstrating the process. http://www.urethanesupply.com/New-Products/Plastic-Radiator-Tank-Repair-Kit/Hope this helps.

you can splice it, a barbed coupling (brass or plastic) would work fine. Any home center should them. Another way and I think better and easier is to use a piece of rubber hose whose inside diameter is the same as the outside diameter of the damaged hose. I had a piece of auto heater hose that was just the right size, 5/8 inside diameter. Cut out the bad place, slip the two ends inside the larger hose and put electrical tape around it. Works great.

Like Rob Harrison said, a pair of pliers should do the trick. Its pretty stout plastic.

Bought one of these to go into one of two cracked wheelbarrow tubs that we have. One is plastic and the other is metal. Although it "fits" the shape is wrong for both. So, although it appears that it will work in a plastic or metal wheelbarrow, it depends on the shape of the existing tub.

Any plastic paint (like plasti dip) that resists a little heat would do. Just make sure it's made for plastic.

I ordered new lines with radiator on Amazon, I got the top one off but bottom was stuck and just broke. The radiators on these cars crack at the upper hose connector on the side is that why you're replacing it. I would order new lines which just pull out of transmission and push on rather than risk not being able to use your car.

My rods are about 2". The plastic covers the rod, can be cut to desired length & doesn't crack. This is the best product I found on the market.If your rod is bigger than the plastic, I would suggest you rotate the open area to the underside of your rod so your hanger doesn't catch on the edge of the plastic.Hope this helps & enjoy,Satisfied

Just located the grill and the rod that goes into the ground is strangly missing...must have left it in our camper. I think, from what I see, you could use any length of rebar, as the hole where it fits into has a tension screw that tightens around the bar and is plently wide to accomdate a piece of rebar. That might be what comes with the grill (rebar) but the camper isn't here right now and I can't remember exactly. I think rebar will definitely work, however, if that helps.

this tool welds very well if you use the right material. If you dont know what kind of material you are welding then tet it on a small scrap piece first. in the kit you will have a list of vendors that sell all types of plastic welding rods.

I found a way of attaching your everyday screw down rod holder. Drill holes in seats and use insert nuts. See my review for pictures.

Metal is the only one I'm aware of. Make sure you have the correct dimensions of the metal tub you're replacing

Possibly from Antec or local ace hardware/plexi-glass shop. Ya might consider going with a fine/rigid metalic mesh.

Plastic barb connectors. The metal ones don't adhere to the rubber hose as well and can leak easier.

I would contact the company, tell them the situation and they should send plastic bolts at a low cost. good luck.

Probably depends on the surface area of the crack/break. I would personally think that a Cyanoacrylate glue would be better for ABS. Perhaps you could use some Super Glue on the crack/break, then use some JB Weld to build up the external surface, if permissible.

Dryer vent hose/duct hose and a hose clamp similar to a radiator hose clamp. Best of luck!
