Phil has done a full run up with everything attached and the rad not flowing much liquid.
Flow test shows only 60% flow. It has been cleaned to get that low level.
Bit like my heart! Pumps at 45%!!!
Checking online found a place that does re-coring. Phil called and it was £400.
An eBay search found some new ones in Germany for £110. Not original parts but Phil says buy.
So I have. Maybe the exchange rate changed slightly as it came out to be £109! A whole £1 saved.
I thought it best to get it done and dusted now before the UK leaves the EU and they start putting tariffs on imported good from an EU country. At least begore the end of 31st December it should be tariff free.
I hope if goes on without too much faffing about. It might need a spray over with some black paint to make it "fit" the classic bike look.
Hopefully it won't get held up in the problems between the UK and France and the borders being closed due to France making a snap decision.
