[DeTomaso] Radiators

My Fluidyne radiator was installed 2005 and is still working fine.
Last year I replaced the drain cock with a sacrifical anode, hoping to
avoid any galvanic corrosion.
I had tried to get the stock brass radiator to work, but it was plugged
up in so many cells that it was no longer usable.
