Ah bummer on the leak Nick, but glad the bracket worked for you.

bracket worked awesome, was hoping to try it out in the fresh snow we got last night, but oh well.

If all you got is a small pinhole, I would take it to a radiator shop and have them solder the hole up, as long as it's not crushed or smashed, a radiator shop can fix that pin hole easily and cheap. If you get some flux core solder, you could probally do it yourself.

I did just that, i was walking to a friend and he said if its small enough just to take some jb weld and patch it. i did that and it was running for over a hour last night with the new rad bracket and getting the air out. Not a leak since.

Awesome, that's great to hear you didn't have to come out the pocket for a new radiator.
