Reproduction 1928 Radiators - tabs to hold hood sides
In looking at the BrassWorks website, I could not determine and they did not mention, if their radiators have the retaining tabs on the sides of the top tank - made to hold the hood sides up when the hood is opened; like the originals had.
While not having a 'show car', I do like to keep my car as close to original as possible. My '28 Phaeton came (1963) with an original (round tube) radiator, which worked good except on long trips at sustained high speeds (60 mph). So I replaced it with a later (1980) replacement radiator, which did (does) not have either the 'funnel' or the side support tabs for the hood sides. I know that BrassWorks does make a round tube / funnel radiator, but I could not find a reference to the support tabs for the hood sides. Can anyone shed some light on this question ? |

My Brassworks radiator (heavy duty) from Brattons came with the support tabs. You can also call your supplier to make sure...
