Stop in for a cup of coffee

They do seem to separate pretty easily don't they.

Yes. The jeep seems to have a bit of twist to the rad support. That's why I figure its best to solder the bracket while installed. It will take the stress out of it.

We set rad on the woodstove with the fire roaring, and used a weller electric soldering iron to repair a loose hose bib.
Worked fine.

I used a bar clamp with hooks welded on to grab the brackets and soldered the mounting brackets back on. I remember one where someone just wired the brackets together across top of rad.

Neat. I've use a bar clamp. This time I'm going to try using the holes in the bracket whick should pull it tight to the shoulder...

But thanks for bring it up - I'll bring a bar clamp just in case.
