    Rad tanks

    Yair . . . 316 stainless would obviously be best but I have made tanks from brass and/or copper sheet. You need to make patterns and plan tabs and overlaps and they can be assembled with just soft solder. Depending on hole spacing on the core you may need heavier clamp or backing strips. A...

    Vehicles With No Electrical System

    Slightly O/T but I used to know a fencing/yard building contractor who disliked "modern trucks" with electric starters and batteries. He reckoned they were unreliable in the bush and much preferred his magneto ignition Inters . . . I was just a big lump of a lout probably back in '57 or '58...
