Old style rad shop
Robin:
I used this chap a few times. His Dad started the business and may be retired now but they used to bring him in to do special jobs... an artist with brass and solder and the only guy I found who still rodded out rads! They've done a couple of flathead V-8 Ford rads and the one out of my White half-track for me. Not cheap! Macpherson's Radiator Service 11 Bell St Carleton Place, ON K7C 1V8, Canada Good luck! Mike

I concur with Gunner. Trick is with these oddball rads is to find an old time rad shop that doesn't mind a challenge.
I know when I had my Ford 12 cab cmp rad done, using my local rad shop, they reproed it quite well, using only my tanks and drain cocks. The rest was made up of a new set of fins and tubes with custom cut headers. It was art and the rad guy told me to never come back...  Guess his original quote was a bit low compared to the amount of work it turned out to be.

I have sent my second rad in for a look see and also a mate seems to think that he may have one dirt cheap across the pond.
We will see what options develop R

Thanks for the comments.
If you looked at the for sale section I do have a second Ferret in need of work, but once you have done one they are a breeze. Currently that vehicle is supposed to be spoken for but the entity that is working with me is moving at a glacial pace and we have been dancing for over a year already but the music is still playing.

Last Wednesday we pulled the power pack apart and removed the fluid flywheel which has gone out to my friends at Kingston transmission for a look see and clean up.
Tommy the owner, (along with his wife Darla) is a lover of things odd ball and different and has the fluid flywheel half and a stack of manuals on his shop bench and clear instructions as to what to do with it. Tommy is a wizard with transmissions of any variety and the more of a challenge the better. While his everyday business is your common or garden family wagon and sedan type vehicle monster loader and heavy equipment and ancient units do not scare him, it is like laying down a gauntlet to him. He has successfully and reasonably rebuilt a military Mercedes automatic tranny that had many possible variations to it with no problem. I cant say enough good words about him and the quality of his work. He is itching to get his hands on the t case and gearbox also. R
