New rad cover

[reillypadraig]

Old rad was I a bad was so got new cover, arrived yesterday, so I decided to undo the side bolts to attach the cover, and just as always with my Fazer, there had to be one prick of a bolt that wouldn't open, of course the hex rang, then vice grips didn't work, the outside is domed shaped do no use, so I decided to cut a line in the bolt with a hacksaw and use a flat head screwdriver, nope didn't work, tight as fuck, so I got thick and put the screwdriver at an angle and a hammer and tried to batter it around so I might turn abit and then unscrew it, but no, I pushed the whole corner or the rad in on its self  :'( ,

But any thoughts on the rad cover?

You could try drilling the head off it but you might be better off leaving it as is if it's still holding coolant

This might help you with the bolt...

Left hand drill bit and loads of penentrating oil is the way to go.

Wait your all telling him to get a drill to it when he has allready proved to be Frank Spencer
I say leave it and fit the cover with 3 bolts and not 4

I reckon there's a good chance it will vibrate if not bolted down properly.

Put a blob of silicone behind

He hasn't broken it yet, he just bent it  :lol

as said above 3 bolts and a blob of silicone. A lot cheaper than damage to the rad.
