Anybody know if that 4.5 GRX that got stuck on Baboon's with a burst radiator hose about a week ago had been repaired /recovered?

Jorrie, I was supposed to join the crew. Work intervened. Will ping Sakkie now and hear if they are on the way back yet.

Chatted with Sakkie. Everything went well. Fitted the spare radiator I arranged and the Patrol and owner are safely back home.
Sakkie mentioned that the Patrol took a bit of a beating (he referred to "body-shots") on the pass, but all is good mechanically.

For what it is worth, Sakkie has explained a little on what happened on this thread. One or two photos as well.

Would seem as if it was a recovery strap that damaged the radiator.
