For the fall, I am interested in getting my 6 conversion car completed. I am going with a Mocal front cooler and wanted a little extra cooling for the hot Alabama summers. I am considering using the Wolverine boiler finned cooling lines to run up the longitudinal and putting a 12an fitting on each end to help the cooling to the cooler and back to the engine. I don't know anything about these lines or if this would help any. Can someone who has used this stuff give me a little feedback so I don't make a mistake.
Thanks! Jimmy |

Hey....That is a good idea Tom. I will take a look at that in the next day or so. Do you know by chance if aluminum 12an fittings are available to TIG to the lines?

Do you know by chance if aluminum 12an fittings are available to TIG to the lines? Baseboard radiation is a smooth bore copper tube expanded into aluminum fins. You can't TIG aluminum to copper. I don't know if there are copper AN fittings out there or not. You certainly could pick up threaded NPT fittings and get an AN to NPT adapter. Just sweat the NPT fitting to the tube using a silver based solder. That will be a stronger joint than TIG welding copper. |
