Will a 1914 radiator fit my 1916 Touring car?
Thanks,

Yes it will fit fine.

Yes, it will, but it will have the little acetylene pipe for the gas lights which you will not use. Otherwise for all practical purposes it is identical.

I use the pipe as a tunnel for the wire between the headlights. That allows the wire no chance of meeting the fan.

Steve that’s a good idea to keep your oil filler cap from bouncing out. I think Henry would approve!

Thanks for the feedback. I was able to find a very nice radiator as a barn find.

Good luck Campbell

there's usually only one reason why they're not still on the car...

I'm not going to lose another one.

Two years ago I forgot to put the cap back on. Jim Riedy was behind me on a tour and fortunately he saw it and retrieved it for me. It was at least 30 miles into the tour when it fell from the car. I plan to tether it similar to that in the picture.

Or the car was parted out and pretty brass parts saved many years ago!
