58 radiator tag

[Brad H.]

What is the best way to install the radiator tag to the rad. allready painted and in car? who has used something other than soldering, that will stick even with the heat, would be nice to clean paint off that area and epoxy or whatever product that will take heat and have it done, also where exactly do you place the tag? Thanks, Brad.

Brad,

Here is a pic of where the copper tag goes. Basically at the top center of the top tank piece facing the engine as installed. I put on one once and I used epoxy and ran it in the car and it is fine and the radiator is out now, but that tag is still solid. I'd clean off the spot, epoxy and paint over it.

Also, your radiator at the top right generally has a long rectangular paper tag saying to change the thermostat if you change to a methanol antifreeze. It says the thermostat is 180, but the repros incorrectly say 170. You also have a smaller square paper tag on the left top that says the antifreeze protects to -20. The smaller square one was used if the car came from the factory with antifreeze.
