    Radiator work-moving bottom hose fitting

     



    I needed to move the lower radiator fitting ...current location would run the hose into the airbag....
    I used a propane torch to remove the fitting, and then hammered it to fit the radiator so the gaps are small ...(like solder sweating copper pipe)..I cleaned it REALLY good and used plenty of flux....then soldered the fitting into the MIDDLE of the radiator. it worked great. I just found an old radiator in a friends scrap pile that i cut a piece of brass for a patch for the old location.

    The lower hose will now run directly between the airbags and into the water pump.
