These top two photographs show a complete
but very tired early 1930's 540K Mercedes radiator. Upon
stripping it out we found that the brass in the shell had aged and
started de-zincifying. A new outer shell and top header tank
back plate therefore had to be made to go with the new radiator
core.
|
| We re-used the filler neck, inlet and outlet pipes, and we
are very pleased with the way the whole job turned out. The
customer is arranging for the chrome plating of the finished radiator.

 Restored
1921 Benz radiator before electroplating.
This
Benz radiator was a major rebuild, utilizing some original parts such as
a filler neck and pipes. We made a new full depth tube and full
depth zig-zag fin core to
original specifications, and a new surround.

Rebuilt
Hawker Hurricane radiator ready to accept its cores.
This
Hawker Hurricane radiator was an original tank that was recovered from
Russia. The top of the tank and one pipe were badly burned.
We re-used the bottom portion of the tank and the internal baffles, and
re-made the top of the tank and one pipe. Radiators cores to
original specifications were made and fitted to this tank. This
radiator was rebuilt for an aircraft that was restored to taxing
standard only and will not fly. We recommend that radiators for
flying aircraft should be new made and not rebuilt like this one.
