"A" Radiator to '32 shell

[Joe Altieri]

I have a top of the line radiator(for a Chevy 350) in a Model A. The manufacturer has not responded to questions about modifying the radiator to fit a '32 shell. I'm sure he would like to sell me another radiator ... but ... that isn't going to happen.
If the faux radiator neck is removed, will this fit a '32 shell? As a youngster, my brother ran a '32 shell on a Model "A" radiator. As I remember, the filler neck was removed, soldered up and a filler opening was attached to the back of the top tank. I do not remember if any modifications, other than relocation of the filler, were necessary. Are the dimensions of the radiators similar?
Thanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

May I suggest that you also post this on the HAMB forum (a sister to this one). HAMB is full of just the people you need to ask.
