Technical 1932 Ford Radiator

Are there any companies that will make a CORRECT 1932 Ford V8 radiator?, I have contacted many companies including Brassworks and they will only make one with the STUPID Looking water fill elbow under the hood for the later OHV V8 engines, I am not building a 100 point show car but I want the radiator cap/water fill in the correct location.

 

Could you not buy an original and have it recored?
Or, like my roadster’s, I used a new Custom Auto Radiator and had a stock 32 top tank installed by a local radiator shop.

 

My AVATAR has the fill on the inside and a bolted on dummy cap on the outside.

Perhaps something was lost in translation. You CAN place the OE neck and cap in the OE location for a non pressure set-up. You can even run light pressure with a one way check valve.

If you want pressure on the top through the OE shell it can also be done but it presents a few challenges.

 

There you go Brassworks can do it and they build really nice radiators.
