I have so far had no trouble with some I had made in Detroit but they did not do a great deal of running. My radiator also sprung a leak & I had to remove it & repair. It is the old one that G.W.H. had to doctor in France. It failed in the O.S. Corner. You will remember that Marstons prophesied trouble here unless we cut out the matrix & fitted solid Corners. I hope the job has been rectified on production. I found I had to take the two studs out of the bottom tank that hold on the bottom water pipe before I could lift off the radiator.
