Re: 30 Radiator
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?

Re: 30 Radiator
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 strap on the bottom tank should be riveted in place and soldered. Hope this helps. Darryl in Fairbanks |
