Title: Home made warmaride heater core Post by: fe2ek on March 21, 2005, 04:32:35 AM With only 4 days to go until nats,found out my heater core was stuffed.I made a temporary one out of 1/2" copper tube.Works a treat.Only rquired slight modification with a rubber mallet.Wrapped pipe around an old one litre paint tin and silver soldered pipe in various spots to hold together.Took 90 minutes to make and cost under $20.

That is clever! Man, I wish I had thought of that. No doubt when I do end up having to make one, I will tell everyone it was my idea ;D ;) ;D Regards, Rob J Title: Re: Home made warmaride heater core Post by: Chuck on March 21, 2005, 10:55:00 AM Geoff

That would rather defeat the purpose... ;) Good work, Geoff. It doesn't sound like we want to be without our heaters at the Nats... I particularly like the use of the paint-tin. Who says you need a pipe-bending kit, eh? cheers RET Title: Re: Home made warmaride heater core Post by: NascoHunter on March 22, 2005, 12:47:27 PM Well done Geoff,
Not bad for a plumber gas fitter will keep your toes warm on the way up to the Nats. Catch you on Wednesday. Tony Galea. :) |
