so the plastic tabs are broken off and i dont know how to fix it. I do have another radiator that is broken but has tabs that are fine so I'm thinking if its possible to cut them out and then attach them?
Is there a easy way to do this?
or a better solution?


cheers

Seriously thou, you could use anything, you could even use wood. Just make something up that will work/substitute, then use a good adhesive. Like a real good adhesive.... aka Devcon.

Don't really think anyone cares mate.
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

True, the the plastic part at the top of the radiator isn't under much stress anyway. The radiator literally it just resting on gromits and the top mounts just keep it upright.
