  1. The water flow in a radiator can be measured the following way;

    plug the lower outlet, fill it up to the top,take out the lower plug

    the radiator should empty in a few seconds with a burst of water, no

    water running after the initial burst, if it's coming slow and running for a

    while your chances are it's clogged.

    Good luck, Johan

  2. I agree completely, also mask the rim with two or three layers of dug tape or other to prevent scratching.

    Allow me to make a remark, did you have your chromed rings heat treated?

    I learned the hard way, all 4 broke on my Cad, after chroming, because the chroming process makes the metal brittle,the heat treatment process corrects this, the rings have their original structure back.

    Lester is used by me on my '30 V-8 for almost 15 years now and it is

    silent and comfortable. I just bought 4 new 700-17 for my '32 Lester WW also.

    also played a role in the decision I must add. Love to know what you decide
