Re: What Are Your Thoughts On Using a Honeycomb Radiator?
Thanks for your thoughts everyone.
Below is a photo of the radiator and shell that I'm still working on. The white streaks on the core is from some oxalic acid that I was using to remove initial rust stains from the top tank.
There is still some question on whether I'll be able to use this radiator due to the extensive repairs, but I'll try (Replace filler neck, straighten top tank, fix support rod bracket, fix leaks at inlet neck). The core is clean and damage-free, and it flows about 8 gallons per minute.
The previously posted video of how these radiators are made was great and explains why the honeycomb radiators were more expensive than the 'typical' finned radiators we see today. You just cant find that kind of craftsmanship anymore.
