    I have a true NB radiator (AutoZone). I used it to get home from Hallett and a few weeks after until I got a larger radiator. $75 picked up in Flower Mound.

    I actually need an NB automatic radiator...

    Here is what I did.. I cleaned it off with rubbing alcohol and sanded it 220 grit, cleaned a few more times. I then put 30 lb of weight on it and hit it with a heat gun until the plastic got soft and started to discolor. Now I am about to go get the finest fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin from the model store to cover that up (super fine crack, didn't want the coarse fiberglass fabric from autozone.) Hopefully that will last me unti I can find time to swap in a new radiator.

    So, who's got an NB automatic radiator? :P

    I haven't done the Automatic Transmission part, but I know you can put the radiator in in about 45 minutes. I did it in the parking lot of a Best Western in Seminole, OK.
