Product Details
This repair can be done on most plastic tank radiators from the late 1970’s to the early 1990’s. A larger diameter pipe is required on the 560SL, 560SEL or the 560SEL. The kit is intended to be installed before the radiator neck is broken. If the neck is already broken we recommend you install a replacement radiator. The risk of patching up a broken off neck is just too great. These illustrated instructions are 2 pages in length. They can be printed in the standard 8 1/2 x 11 inch format.

ALERT! ALERT! 10 years after I first started warning about this, I saw it again in my shop on Feb. 20, 2011. Seems to be happening even more now as these radiators age. I loosened up the upper hose clamp on this 123 300TD radiator and it just fell off.
