Hi folks,

Some of you may remember that about a year ago you gave me some advice
about repairing a leak in my Fordson Super Major tractor radiator. It's
a long story, but I only just got round to having a go.

The filler cap isn't on top of the radiator. It's on the end of a
horizontal pipe about six inches long which protrudes from the back of
the radiator. Where the horizontal pipe is joined to the radiator there
was a leak on the underside. ....

Annealed copper water pipe is easy to flare with a hammer and anvil.
Once the flare is almost perpendicular to the pipe you hammer the pipe
straight down to finish the end into a flat, even flange that could be
soldered to the tank.
