Help rebuilding old lorry rad?

[Repulse 1920]

we rebuilt a old one off an atkinson lorry ourselves after locateing new rubbers for the bottom and tops. very time consuming and delicate though. scott

Thanks for the info.

I am in the process of following up the leads but Vinatge Rads in Manchester appear to be happy to do the final assembly and i can fit the gills to the tubes which is the labour intensive bit! Yet to re quote but im in no rush!

Thanks again.

Hi

I did the rad for my 1921 Leyland Raf type myself, 90 x 2ft x 1/2" tubes with something
like 13,000 gills all to be put on the right way. Then they have to be solder dipped, painted
and soldered into the top and bottom plates. A small radiator company in Farnham Surrey did the soldering.
