salival Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hi guys, some of you have seen my previous posts, thought i'd take some more pics of a radiator I made.. I work for a radiator wholesale provider in Christchurch, New Zealand. I make alloy intercoolers/oilcoolers, radiators and pretty bling stuff, Would love to get into ss manifolds and so forth but I only do alloy.. Tanks welded on ready to pressure test to 20psi. Closeup of weld before sideframes are put on In fresh clean water with tankblock (kills acids in radiator test tanks, but it really helps find small pinhole leaks) closeup of said picture with sideframes on and bonded to the core with epoxy closeup for sideframe to tank weld close up of header plate to tank weld And last of all, my baby! I need to clean her.. Comments and critique? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/239103-some-recent-fab-pics/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Customer is drilling and welding his own fitting, Only a matter of time before he brings it back in because it's leaking Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/239103-some-recent-fab-pics/#findComment-4179586 Share on other sites More sharing options...

salival Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Looks great Scott, what thickness are the tanks??? Hey, The tanks are 2mm folded, same with the side plates.. The header plates are typically 1.6-2mm thick as well..
