Taylormade Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I took my radiator of my 1932 Dodge DL in Friday to be cleaned and checked out, and we discovered an important piece was missing! It's a bracket on top of the radiator tank. I suspect this may have gone missing when the ice hit the hood, but who knows at this point. Does anyone out there have an old radiator or part of one that has this piece? It's the one in GREEN in the picture below, kindly supplied by Phil Kennedy. It's soldered to the top of the tank. I could also use the RED piece. I have a nice new set of stainless hinge pins (blue) so I don't need those. I can probably make one, but it's a bit tricky as this sets the height of the hood relative to the radiator shell and everything has to be just right to fit on the tank. Any help would be gratefully appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrytravler Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 May I ask how you colored the parts in the picture or where the individual parts painted then installed? I'll take a look at all the radiators we have lying around. Would you have the measurements for the mounting points on the the green part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylormade Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 That was done by my friend Phil Kennedy from a photo of his car. The colors were added in Photoshop. The bracket should be three inches long from edge to edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
