Going through the cooling system on my Ford Lehman 120 and found the 1 3/4” hose nipple almost completely rotted off. Cut the bad part off the tank, faced the tank and bored the hole in the mill, turned a new nipple on the lathe welded it back in place. Almost forgot, I dumped in a bunch of nuts, bolts and sand blast media and tumbled it in the lathe for a couple hours to clean up the interior of the tank.
I am wondering if there would be a market for fabricating these tanks out of 1/4” or 3/8” wall rectangular tubing with a more modern fill neck. Just a thought.
