The brass chain for the cap came from some spare rad parts I bought in France some time ago.

After the rad shop had re-soldered the sides.....I cleand all remaining rust spost and cleaned the soldering spots with baking soda and water. A good few coats of rust primer and satin black paint will hopefully mean the rad is now ready.

Default All that aggravation.....

.....nothing like doing it yourself...... but doing the whole tank soldering does require skills ans special tools.

Sorry to see you miss the 75th .......
