The top and bottom cast iron pieces of the radiator are called tanks. The bottom tank was broken by ice many years ago. A piece broke out of the top tank when Hank and I disassembled the radiator. I transported the radiator tanks to J&M welding in Rock Creek Ohio. Joe did a beautiful job of welding the 5 foot long tanks. Back home I bought a piece of neoprene and cut 5 foot strips for a gasket. I coated the top tank with sealer to slow down rust. I took the tanks back up to the museum and put them on the Whitcomb.
Chris Bohn from TitanX is making final measurements and drilling holes in the brass header plates of the new core.
