30 Radiator

[buddridge]

How can I tell if the radiator in my 30 is OEM or reproduction? Thanks in advance>

Elements will include:
Single piece deep drawn tank
Concave relief in the sidewall with corresponding relief in the fins
Core will have 6 fins per vertical inch with a dimple face
Deep drawn bottom tank
rivet in the sidewall shell brackets
Angled tube style upper hose connection with flange tank
electric wire tabs on bottom header

I'll email a pm a photo

I would love a copy of the photo as well is at all possible.

Is not the bottom "brace" also riveted to the bottom tank?

buddridge,

Here are a couple of photos of the '30-'31 upper tank, original tanks have the three vertical drawn pressings fore and aft.

One of these tanks has the early style baffle, the one with the large dent, the other is the improved baffle design.

The face of the core should have dimpled fins between the tubes and the ******** the bottom tank should be riveted in place and soldered.

Hope this helps.
