    Radiator baffle plate?

    You do not have to do major surgery if you're missing a baffle. Move your overflow tube to the middle slide this cone over the top. push it back to the side (this is to avoid a motometer stem). You might also get a thicker gasket. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFfNec1ntEm/

    Fan Shroud helpful?

    A Model a fan shroud is not a detriment at higher speed. There is ample space to evaculate air when the Model A is moving down the road. Go on ebay and you'll see scores of fan shrouds that trap air and cause heat soak.

    Formed Relief

    Embossing metal with ribs or stiffening beads creates a stronger part from a thinner gauge of metal. Some comments are correct; it does make it stronger, it does make it look more authentic, it does take a little more time .

    Pressurized Radiator cap for `30 Model A?

    Caps are standard sizes for standard necks. For Model A blocks using pressure, 4psi is recommends. The shallow brass cup and fiber board design of a bayonet style cap in a non pressure will hold ~3.5psi and a threaded cap like the 28-29 can hold >20psi. Conventional pressure caps have the...

    Radiator Cap Won't fit into the grill shell

    Good Grief. I re-read my reply and your reply. I will try to be clearer for you. I am not in a position from 8,000 miles away to tell you the exact cause of a leak in a radiator made 9 years ago. To do so would be as you say, "BS." What I can tell you is the following; rust does not come...

    New Radiator Opinions

    Not sure how you took away that we do not make radiators. It's what we do. We traded numerous emails and I explained how they were made in by Ford and how we make them and why a number of things were "curious" in your description of this radiator constructed in late 2013. I am sorry you had a...

    1934 Ford Pickup Radiator

    Sorry we lost your vote. 1. There is no listing for a truck radiator on their website, just a car. You can remove your OE brackets and affix them to that radiator we just don't know why you'd want to. 2. The Johnson radiator core is a serpentine construction. This far more profitable to...

    The 9,999 is a placeholder price for the website. I'll change it to 999,999 so it is more clear

    radiator

    Yes, a cheap aluminum POS is bound to be problem free. Another tip is to order a larger radiator when you can or at least know how to measure.

    31 Ford radiator

    The most common radiator is priced at 725 today. Restorations of the Model As require further handwork we do not incur in the production item(s). I would be happy to provide the tube and fin material for people to do-it-themselves. Just ask.

    Radiator Question

    Thats a 1.5" ton radiator. Your lower hoses fitment may be a challenge. You can likely restore that radiator and place the hoses where you want them. That can sometime be less expensive than a fabrication.

    Radiator Cap Won't fit into the grill shell

    We restore radiators but the parts are the owner's and would not be sold to anyone else. I searched through your 6700+ forum posts but no luck. I looked for a Model A melbourne shipment in/around 2014 and no shipment exists. I don't know your name, only your forum persona so I am at a loss...

    Radiator Cap Won't fit into the grill shell

    Frank - The neck hole and aftermarket cap are the issue in this photo. This should not have anything to do with the radiator or the radiator neck. I just measured a Vintique cap and its .050" wall. What cap did you remove 1/4" off? Please contact us as we'd like to understand this situation...

    1936 Radiator Availability

    This is a good point. A cap's pressure is measured in pounds-per-square inch. If you imagine 1" square graphing paper overlaid on a tank and then imagine a 16# weight on each of the squares you quickly appreciate the impact pressure might have on a solder joint. Ribs in a drawing dies help...
