Repair The Radiator Mounting

This double layer radiator had one of its mounting broken.

The other one is in good condition.

This guy help me for welding job. 

I used door hinge pin. It suits the rubber mounting.

Mark it!

Cut it by using grinder.

Very nice!
The base have larger contact area surface.
This contribute to strong mounting solution.

Shine bright like a diamond!

Left one is previous mounting. 
Repaired by halfcut mechanic.
It does't stand long because the contact area are smaller.
The new one was sprayed with anti rust paint.

Put some epoxy and hold it with black tape.
Any tape can be used.

After 30 minutes.

Nice and stronger.

This DIY is purposely give some idea on how to repair radiator mounting 
and make it last longer.

Good LUCK!

Honda Prelude Master Reservoir Cleaning

Dirty brake fluid.

Very dirty...

Use this cheap siphon pump.
Be careful not to spill.

That Yeo's does't mean for thirsty.  
It is used to keep the pumped brake fluid.

The maximum the siphon pump can take out the brake fluid.

Just leave it as it is. 
This DIY is just to clean up the reservoir tank.

3 Brothers need some shower.

Use any detergent to clean them.

Wow!  Very difference from before.

Put back the 2 other brothers and pour new brake fluid.

The cap can be cleaned more if you want.
Test the brake.
I do this because the whole system need to bleed out.
Replace all old brake fluid in the system.

Clean any brake fluid spill on any part.
The brake fluid is very sharp and can damage paint. 


For reference.
