Re: New radiator from Brass Works

This company has gone downhill since the new owner obtained it from Greg Goveia. All I have ever asked is the radiators to be made as good as Ford made them. Even Greg cut some corners, mainly riveting the side panels to the top tank. Solder doesn't do a good enough job. The radiators have to be ab...

Re: If you need a radiator do not wait

[code] [/code] I would be very surprised if he's making them himself. Where did Berg buy his? Jerry, I think Lee does have the machines to do them in-house.

The neck hole in 1926 shell - its unconscionable

I received a call yesterday and stopped and measured. The radius of a neck to the front panel measured 9/16". You would typically not measure this way but that is immaterial. The dimension is not a number I readily know because we use an OE shell (as a fixture) to locate the neck. If you have a shel...
