[Mgb-v8] [Mgs] Repair or replace Radiator?

[Paul Hunt]

That, and a foam strip between the rad itself and its mounting diaphragm.  I 
must have run my roadster for 15 years before fitting that foam strip (it 
always had the rubber strip) but was surprised to see it makes a noticeable 
difference.  I think all rear-mounted radiators had the foam strip, but only 
from Mk2 was the rubber strip provided, according to the Parts Catalogue. 
Forward mounted radiators didn't have either, but the under-bonnet felt 
sound-proofing is pretty close to the top of the rad.
