Hey guys my new bird has no threads but my rad. is threaded, what to do?

[EDNY]

Can you install a threaded rod from the mascot and use a cross support in the radiator shell?

[yellowbeard]

don't think so. it's sitting on the threaded rad. nech.

I just sold some late 20's radiator ornaments and both of them had the internal threads basically wiped out.

I thought if somebody was going to repair these that a pipe with inside threads could be used. It would have to be turned on the out side so it would slip into the mascot.

Some kind of epoxy or would have to be applied so that it would stay attached.

Other alternative that other poster suggested would require having the radiator filler removed and capped by a rad shop, then an elbow for a radiator cap installed.

To follow up on what the other poster said , with bolt and an aluminum or steel cross brace the mascot can be attached to the radiator shell.
I believe the 1931 or 1932 radiator mascot has been reproduced and would be the best choice if one wanted to stay with stock and avoid all the hassle of trying to repair the original stock one.

I just spoke to a guy a few week ago with the same situation and he was able to have someone solder a threaded piece inside of his motometer which is similar to what you have there.
