Excellent Al radiator fabrication.

Great video, haven't done something like that for 30yrs plus. Just a couple of thing; dividers are referred to as baffles, and you can purchase gill pliers for straightening the fins, or at least you used to !!. Brings back many happy memories. Thank you.

Yeah, Johnson Manufacturing (and probably others too) still makes and sells all he various tools you probably used 30 plus years ago including thin nose duckbill pliers for fins straightening.

Why not drill for the tapping before welding to the core 🤷🏼‍♂️ surely that reduces the chance of swarf going into the core?

That was a great video, beautiful work.

You probably heard this before but having a small shear would be a game changer for you

Outstanding presentation! I always wondered just how a Radiator actually went together.

Beautiful!!!. It must be nice to have all those cool tools. What Band Saw do you guys use? I thought about converting a wood band saw to metal using a Variable amperage controller.

Wouldn't it be better to drill the holes for the bungs prior to tig welding? Because now you can introduce metal shavings into the radiator, possibly clogging one of the passage ways up

Ideally yes but its nothing that cant be washed out. On production units thats usually the MO, however its not always possible on custom rads

Thats some beautiful work, i have to do this at some point, i only wish i could produce something so clean and well made.

Nice work

Beautiful..! I See tou use Tig Finger from Jody..😉

Awesome work! Do you have details on your belt sander upgrades?

Wow, you are a careful sponsor of your work

I know it depends on the thickness but what usually settings do you use? I work on old radiators and core replacement and although I weld them ok but I can't get a consistent straight cord

Beautiful job my question the tanks are on the side does it work any better if the tanks was on the top and bottom the water would flow down to the water pump hose

Where do you get the cores? Nice shop and nice job. Great demonstration.

It's awesome, but I woulda thought you'd cut the holes in the tanks before welding on to core... still gonna be some grit in there..

Looks quite good! How much are your radiators going for roughly? Granted different applications have different needs and requirements.

They range from about 500-1500 typically, mostly depending on size, complexity, and fans

Awesome work, who is a good supplier for the cores?

Четко!

Perfect! Price???

Did I miss the part where you said the size drill bit used to make the hole for the 16an bung. Because I missed it. Anyone know the size?

Hey, I want to ask how do you weld aluminum?

Nice job but how did you seal the divider to the core or does it matter?

I wondered that too. I'm guessing that it's close enough that a little bypass doesn't matter but perhaps there's more to it.

Nice! Can I ask which liquid did you use to clean aluminium? Thanks

Acetone. Anything will work. Brake cleans out of a can is probably better. If it's new like that, shoot it with the cleaner then blow it dry with air, no wiping needed usually. Also, you should probably brush it really good, (in 1 direction) with a small stainless steel brush to remove any oxidation

Gj, but I feel like your fabricator is good enough to bend his end caps down on the end, instead of a 3 piece tank. Would save time for the welder, and a guarantee no leaks on the bend. Pay the welder, keep him happy. Been in the radiator business for 10 years now, a consistent bead is getting more rare to come by.

@rampagefab

Жыл бұрын

Well as it turns out the fabricator and the welder are the same person lol. And we no longer build rads often but when we did we would just have pre bent channel that was cut to length and pre cut caps ready to weld. So actually way faster than custom forming each tank to the right length. When I was doing production radiators the tanks were all laser cut and cnc bent with end caps like you were saying

How many one,,

Shouldn’t you be cutting the holes in the tanks for bungs before it’s welded? There’s no way you’re getting all the chips out by blowing air into it.

@rampagefab

4 жыл бұрын

No thats not really a thing when building a custom rad. In production the holes are usually already cut out during the laser work, so its a non issue. And yes we get all the particles out after the work is done.

I don't mean to be a troublemaker, but I think you should be using 4043 filler. All the weld filler tables I have say that 5052 base with 5356 filler should not be used at sustained temperatures above 150 deg F. I know these welds should not be stressed much at 15 PSI, but why not follow the industry recommendations anyway? If you're not anodizing it, the superior color match of 5356 shouldn't matter at all.

What's your opinion on manufacturing a radiator from stainless steel? You seem to have experience with radiators and before I commit to building one, I would like to do my research on that

Very nice work. I have problems cleaning before putting on the tanks, you make it look so easily. I need to weld without rod, clean with plastikk disc, weld, clean several time. What kind of grindtool do you use, doesn`t it make any pepper in the weld. Thanks a lot. You can se some of my work on Facebook Thoresen Automotive.
