Installed radiator drain cock. Bonus: the damage done by failure to plan.

Reduced the mouse population by 1, added tool oil to Air O Matic and got the power steering working again.

You no doubt feel the pain, but hope it makes you feel better that I've seen radiators that almost looked in OPPOSITE shape (a small patch of UN-crushed fins) that were still operational (but obviously not at top efficiency).

If it was 46 years old, damaged and operational, I'd be ecstatic. But this one is brand new with zero miles on it. Such is life...

I would only use it on an engine that is on it's last legs and your trying to keep it alive a little longer. If your engine is smoking real bad due to the piston oil rings being clogged up it can do a pretty good job of cleaning them up. It "can" also cause some severe damage to the bearings and cam, as it can literally "clean up" the engine oil from the bearings and cam surfaces .That's why it's called the "poor mans engine cleaner" . If your going to be rebuilding the engine it works great to help "preclean" it.

G'day everyone,....
Well it was a nice day out here so in preparation for my new toy arriving end of next week (hopefully no more delays) I washed my spare wheels for it.
I even have what must be an original type for the M35 as its Riveted.
Before:
After washing:
All of the wheels except for the one that's riveted are made in Canada and dated mid 86 and are as new despite some scratches.

It looks like you got enough Rubber there, Aussie Bloke, to run that new Deuce of yours ragged!

G'day everyone,....
Well I got 9 spare wheels in the deal,....
All the tyres are 99%.
I just need to stack them now,...
They are heavier than they look.

I'm just REAL glad that it's you that needs to stack them, and not me.

G'day everyone,...
Thanks for your support!
sigh,...
When I was a few yrs younger I could have thrown these around all day,...
I may need to tone back up again,...?

Why don't you buy a fin comb? I use them all the time at work (HVAC.) That way you can straighten all of them out, or at least make it look a little better..

Straightening the fins won't fix the holes in the tubes.

Ooops. That is a problem. I can't remember you mentioning THAT detail.

It's all good. Post 4020.Ooops. That is a problem. I can't remember you mentioning THAT detail.
Just bought a radiator drain cock so I can finish the installation of the new radiator... after I solder up the hole from the damage caused by not properly protecting it while transporting it 1500 miles in the back of a truck.
