Hey Woody, thanks a bunch, I ever meet you in the flesh I’m gonna have to buy ya dinner and drinks. I really appreciate your taking the time.
I’m just now getting to it because I just got up the strength to sit up in front of the confuser. I had a hamburger at McDonalds Friday afternoon and think I got food poisoning from it. I’ve had real bad stomach cramps since 0:200 Saturday morning and am just starting to feel a little better. Still weak and shaky and gut still hurts a little.
I just down loaded the pic and am printing some full pages out for study. Again, it doesn’t look like that complicated of a part to make. I’m assuming that the plates that are soldered to the tanks locate it in the housing. I would guess that they are steel? Or did they spend the money and use brass on them also? I can’t make out from the pics right off how many rows it has, but I haven’t got all the pics printed out and had a chance to study them, maybe it will show in the picture.
Bill, not sure I’m reading you correctly on this one. Are you saying that all the AD Deluxe heaters were different over the span of the series??? I thought they were all the same. It seems to me that there would be a pretty big market for these cores. A run of a thousand or so would not be that big of an investment and if I was a gamblin’ man I’d bet they would be gone on a national level in a couple of weeks. I mean look at the reproduction AD radiators that they are selling, still quite reasonable and there is a whole lot more work and tooling in making them. Those are some serious punch and dies to stamp out a part that long and that deep.
You know, I haven't checked the three-foot pile yet, just haven't had the time, to see if any of the vendors do offer a core. Seems to me that I have seen them somewhere before. I thought the rectangular ones were available but the round ones were not.
