[DeTomaso] Radiator Install Progress

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Michael,

As others have already indicated, you've got a nice Hall 45 degree  
radiator.  These are the cat's meow as long as they don't leak.  If  
you can get it fixed, I'd recommend you stick with it.  If you don't  
want to fix it, would you please ship it to me?  :)

The new radiator looks very nice.  It's very much like the Fluidyne  
offering with a couple of exceptions.
- The entry/exit tubes are parallel to the radiator, Fluidyne comes  
straight out.
- The lower drain cock is on the passenger side, Fluidyne is on the  
drivers side.

There are two thermal switch bungs for the radiator fans and two upper  
drain cocks.  In addition, it has the lower mounting posts.  It looks  
like this should be a very nice radiator for a Pantera.

Here is a photo of the Fluidyne I got from Larry Stock many years ago:

I've welded a couple of cross bars for mounting a flex-a-lite dual  
sucker fan.  You can see the two thermal switches for the fans mounted  
in the two bungs on the right.  You can also see the drain on the  
left.  This photo was taken during pressure testing of the radiator  
prior to re-install a couple years ago.

What you have is so similar, I'd probably buy it if I needed a new  
radiator for my Pantera.  So in my opinion you made a good purchase.
