11 and 12 radiators
What is different about 1911 and 1912 radiators that they are not available new?

Re: 11 and 12 radiators
11 and 12 radiators did not have "Made in USA" stamped under Ford in the top piece. They also did not have holes in the lower side pieces for the acetylene hose to go through it. Also the neck was not riveted on like the later ones.
Brass Works still makes them. I just bought one for my 12.

Re: 11 and 12 radiators
However, at our local club meeting Tuesday night someone made the comment that at least for the moment, Brass Works no longer has a source to fabricate the outlet I believe it was. Inlet, outlet, makes no difference basically, without one or the other, they're "down". Call Brass Works to verify anyway.Fire_chief wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2024 4:14 am11 and 12 radiators did not have "Made in USA" stamped under Ford in the top piece.

Can confirm. Ordered a ‘15-‘16 Brassworks from Lang’s on Monday. Was told usual delivery 6-8 weeks, But shortage of a casting is holding up mfg. No ETA for now

I feel the pain- my foundry is currently quoting 2 months lead time.
