Original Series 80 Radiator

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

I’m in the process of changing the radiator in our 1925 Series 80 Roadster, from a modern fin & tube type to an original honey comb type that I purchased from John Cislak. We had John’s original radiator core restored by the Brass Works. The filler neck on this radiator is brass and does not appear to have ever been Nickel Plated. Is this correct? Most if not all other Series 80’s I’ve seen have Nickel Plated radiator filler necks. Our goal is to keep things as close to factory original as possible.

Patrick,

The neck is supposed to be nickel.

You can remove it by heating the neck with a torch to melt the solder and then pull it.

Get it plated and reverse the process.

Others will chime in on the proper way to do it.
