Take it to any Silverton Radiators. http://www.silvertonradiators.co.za/
They will give you a quote and their work is good. If it is badly rusted, rather replace it and use a good quality antifreeze for aluminium engines.

Thanks. I took it to Silverton.
Not to rusted, but the core (thin zig zag metal strips) crushed when touched - on the front side, back still strong.

You can use a small flat screwdriver and strainten those fins. They dont carry water.

Touching the fins turned them into powder!

Oops, she snds old.
If Silverton can't assit you I will definately consider rather buying a new one. Don't
mess around with your cooling system.

I agree. Or just fit an air cooled 503
