Default Repairing Feser Rads

I hacve a Feser quad and a Feser dual that have stress fractures around the fittings, and are thus.. leaking

May be garbage, but, am curious of what way would be best, if any, to seal the fractures? Thinking about some sort of epoxy, but ????

any ideas?

I mean, man, these things are irreplaceable

thinking 90 degree fittings werent't the best idea on these thin skinned rads

you can try epoxy, sounds like it will work on paper ..........


brazing them would be a better solution though , but a PITA

you have to sand them back down to bare metal first to get the rods to stick

using a heavy silver content rod would help reduce heat but they are expensive bastards

Good luck bro

I have one for sale if you can't get it fixed up

I still have another quad I'm not using, just a bitch to throw them away

I have some heavy silver epoxy used to cold solder, actually used it to fix a video card, thinking that might work?
