Help needed in locating an R129 radiator

[Sdemon]

Unfortunately my radiator on my r129 500sl has a hairline crack at the plastic top housing. Tried searching for one but I can’t seem to find any and mercedes are not looking that promising either.

Does anyone know where I could source one from? Iv tried various radiator manufacturers and they are unable to supply one.

Or is there a possibility for this to be refurbed at all?

The original part number is 1295000103

Lostkiwi thanks for replying.

When I go to that website the only ones that come up are unfortunately out of stock. The link you posted, is it a different model number?

Carefully run a hot soldering iron in the hairline crack.

Carefully run a hot soldering iron in the hairline crack.

It rarley works as the melt is only on the surface and the crack is much deeper, so any heat expansion usually forces the melt open again
