Default Compatible radiator for 07 EC250

I was taking the right hand radiator shroud off this afternoon when that stupid plastic bracket on the back of the bolt came loose and gouged a hole in the radiator. Pretty hard to see the funny side of that one!!
I am now wondering if there is a compatible unit from KTM/Jap that I can use? I do not have a local Gas Gas dealer. Oh yeah, the bike is a 2007 EC250.

Repair with JB Weld. Works really well and lasts forever.

Haha JB weld...I repaired a smunched radiator, leaking at the base of 3 fins, with JB weld (not the "JB quick") and have been riding on it for about 18 months now LOL Been meaning to replace it but it doesn't leak...

Yesterday a stick jammed UNDER my buddy's radiator on his 11 EC300 breaking the lower nipple off. Lost all his coolant. We repaired it with quicksteel, let it dry for 45 min, and filled her up with our precious drinking water. Rode for another four hours of hard, slow, hot singletrack and it never leaked a drop.

Quicksteel dries in 20 minutes or so. JB weld much longer. Quicksteel better for trailside fix IF you can get it where you want it (probably won't fit between radiator fins very well)

I fixed a magnesium side case on the trail with quicksteel. Never leaked.

Also a rock punched a hole in my buddys quad wheel (rock jammed between the axle and the wheel, punching a hole in it...another reason to not ride a quad haha). We were 20 miles from the truck in the Moab desert. Filled the hole with quicksteel. That was 5 years ago, still riding it like that LOL.

Now we all carry quicksteel. and some plumber's sandcloth to roughen up the bonding surface.

But for garage repairs, where I have 24 hrs for it to dry, I use JB weld.
