There seams to be a hole in the metal pipe that runs in front of the carb its the one that the temp sender fastens to,is there anywhere i get a new one from its an A redg 1.9

Also hoping to go on holiday in the next couple of days

Not being an expert on the early cooling system I would have to suggest that if you can't source a replacement you improvise and perhaps cut the holy section out and replace it with a short piece of hose and clips ? Unless it's on a joint or something.

I thought about that but the hole is right next to the bracket that holds it in place, i havnt taken it off yet il do it in the morning

Easiest fix is to braze it then.

Yep, agreed.

Thanks theres a radiator repair shop near by ill take to him an see what he can do

That pipe has been obsolete for eons

If you want 2nd hand try contacing Mick at NWVW http://www.nwvw.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for his number. He is based near Much Hoole south of Preston.

Thanks I'll give him a try had this welded up for now

Brazing would have been better than welding on rusty thin metal. It flows more and covers nearby weak spots.
