Topic: Bodb Drake Radiator

  Has anyone had any experience with the Bob Drake 1940 Ford radiator?

It looks like the original; with the two upright areas , and has the hole for the crank.

I would like to buy one, but want to hear some comments about it first.

Regards, Steve Lee

  Put one in my 40 about 5 years ago, no problems so far.

  I just installed one.

The only issue I had, was that the holes in the mounting legs were not in the correct position-I had to re-drill one of the holes, using the frame of the car as a template.

Other than that, it went in fairly easily. I have only test run it (haven't driven it yet) but it looks like it will be ok.

It looks one h@ll of a lot better than the one that has been in the car for the last 45 years!

  I believe they may be "on sale" now, IF in stock.
