Choke hole location in radiator

Post by DickC » Tue Sep 15, 2020 3:22 pm

I'm in the middle of installing a new radiator as I write this. I saw a recent forum item that described the exact location for drilling the choke hole in the radiator. I tried searching the forum but can not find it. It was only in the last week or so. Any help asap.

Thanks to all. I took a chance and thought I remembered and you have confirmed my memory. The only thing I couldn't do was use a "punch". I guess if I had the radiator off and could put something behind the area, I could have used a punch of some sort. Used a drill and it worked. Thanks again!!

Mine was never drilled for the choke rod and it’s an early Canadian’13. Built in October 1912.

I followed the diagram John posted on my recent thread after purchasing a new Brassworks radiator. It was easy and worked perfectly.
