30DodgePanel Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Can either of you tell us if it's a Fedders or McCord so we know what to look for ?What is the number on the badge ?Pics are always helpful too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aunty norm Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) The car was built in Australia in 1927, plus the car number was IS21462. The radiator is a fin and tubes type( McCord?)When they tried to fit a new core to the radiator they totally destroy the top tank and dumped all the bits in the scrap bin. I have no idea what the top tank and baffles look like. If I did, I may be able to find someone to reproduce it for a price plus shipping. I tried to attached a few photos but no good!So I must rely on the good hearted Dodge people to help me!

robert b Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Sorry I had to load these pics in 5 down loads but we have some what poor web service here , as one can see there was about 3 days work to reclaim this 2249 radiator after the "butcher " had had his go at it , but alls well I managed to save the original top tank and top plate and reproduced the top fittings as original . The radiator with modern core has a grater cooling ability than the original (we need here in Australia ) and now fits the original shroud correctly . A special thanks to DB2251 for the loan of a shroud and original radiator to allow me to get all things in there correct place .Regards Bob Edited February 3, 2015 by robert b (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness I am fortunate and close enough to avail myself of your vast Chrysler, Dodge, Desoto, Plymouth and dare I say Model A expertise.RichardQueensland, New South Wales State border, Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
