I never had to grind impellers or drill holes, but it was obvious something was not right with the new radiator. Last edited by Mitch//pa; 01-22-2017 at 07:53 AM. |

Re: strong waterflow
Your new cast iron jack is just like what I use. It's much stronger than the original stamped steel jack.

Re: strong waterflow
No Mitch,it was'nt their fault.
I delivered them a radiator wich had leaks allover and asked them to recore it. That's just what they did,the new core was exactly like the old was. I think a previous owner of my Tudor had the original radiator fixed by an obscure company who did'nt care if it was original or not,only the price matters. "BlAAK"company is a very skillfull company with a good reputation and i am sure if i told them the radiator was for a model A they would have told me this was wrong,but i did'nt told them where i needed it for,just asked if they could fix it,...........my mistake. |

Re: strong waterflow
In the Netherlands there are probably a 1000 model A owners who have 1-4 cars,there is 1 model a club and 2-3 vendors who sell new parts,the are supplied by Mac's from the usa.
That's it. At a swapmeet there would be very often model a parts,mostly junk or new repro parts,and yes,i could order parts in the usa or buy second hand parts via e-bay or something but delivery costs are very high. We don't have swapmeets like Hershy where if you can't find it it don't exist,we have something like a basketball hall with around 70 vendors selling parts,tools,and toys for every old car that is made,mainly VW beetles |

Re: strong waterflow
When I bought my 29 Tudor it had the same problem with a cheap repro radiator that was too thin and didn't have the flow capacity of an original.
It was OK at slow speeds, but on the road it would loose 2 quarts in 10 miles at 45 MPH. |

I have owned some European makes that are not popular in the US including a Daimler V8250. Help in rebuilding and maintaining them has naturally come far more from Europeans than Americans. Hopefully we can be as helpful to those that own common American makes that are not so common in their country.

Re: strong waterflow
René, when at your local flea-markets, just keep in mind, I've been searching for years for an original radiator for my friends 1965 Volkswagen Bug 1500cc. You might have better luck at your auto jumbles then I've had here. Lol lol Jeff

Re: strong waterflow
OMG... I just sold one simular to that last week... Was there a retro-fit kit to adapt it from the 1600 (dual port) to the 1500 single? I may have to contact the guy and buy it back, of course paying him a small profit for his trouble. (I am a nice guy!). Thanks for the tip..
Greatly appreciated. Jeff

Re: strong waterflow
If you want to install a thermostat, check out Vintage Precision. I have them on both my Model A's. and they are the best way to install a thermostat on a Model A. A little pricey but worth it.
