We Have Gills


Friday Lunchtime - Great excitement as the radiator gills have just arrived. These are 1" square and are designed to fit onto the 5/16" radiator tubes. There are approx 130 radiator tubes and something near 16,000 (sixteen thousand) gills to thread on and solder in place! A task which may get a little tedious....The pieces to build up the brass header tank and bottom tanks are cut and ready for soldering, just need some flux, gas and a lot of solder! The kindly people who have offered to come round here this weekend to give us a hand don't know what they're letting themselves in for!!
