Brassworks Radiator
I got a new 1928 brass works radiator today. The overflow tube runs down the side of the radiator as it should. It appears to have two places down the side about 2" long about 6" apart where the tube may have been Brazing or soldering. The Lower 2" spot has come loose . Is this necessary . What would you due. Thanks billy

Re: Brassworks Radiator
Stuff happens, I'd just run it by a radiator shop & have it re-soldered! It'd probably just cost just this much l--l Bill W.

Re: Brassworks Radiator
Bill speaketh wisely! Stuff does happen in shipment, etc. Yes you could send it back, file a damage claim, all that red tape crap. Or run it by a radiator shop and have then fasten it down. Probably cost $25. You could even present this as a plan to Brassworks and see if they will a)not void any warranty, if there is one, and b) pay for repair.

Re: Brassworks Radiator
Brassworks does not pay for shipping. You will be better off getting it done yourself.

Re: Brassworks Radiator
You ought to be able to solder it yourself, if you've got a good electric soldering gun and some rosin core solder. Sand the area real good. Rosin core solder doesn't take a lot of heat and is easy to work with. I really don't see where it would hurt anything if left as is.

Re: Brassworks Radiator
I agree with Purdy. Two days ago I had to solder the bracket back on my Honda parts mower radiator. I grabbed my propane torch and some 60/40 rosin core solder and had the job done in less than 5 minutes. Can't even tell I did the repair because the black paint didn't even burn off the bracket.
