JourneyMan Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hi, Changing a radiator on my normal Classic and the new rad doesn't come with the fittings for the Oil and ATF Coolers, no problem, take the old ones off and swap them over. When I removed the fittings I noticed there's a white crust on the rad side of the fitting, do these fittings have to be re-fitted with something like plumbers mate? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I just wrapped the threads with PTFE tape (if that's Plumbers Mate - I don't know!!) and never had any problems. The last rad we replaced just got the fittings screwed in without any additional sealant and, to my knowledge, has been fine since...

Bowie69 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Not used sealer on those ever, however the last rad I got actually had the fittings brazed in place, so no need for the 'adapters' at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
