Help w/ Adding a valve to an Al. Radiator
Yo,
So I got one of those nice 2" thick Civic radiators from Infinite Auto to use on my AE92 project (because of space constraints). I am mounting the radiator on its side, because thats the only way it will fit, and so I will need to add a valve to each end tank in order to bleed it properly. What is the easiest way to add a valve to an aluminum end tank like this? The only way I could think of was to use a threaded peace of aluminum (like a nut), have it welded on and have a valve thread into that, but where would I find a threaded peace of aluminum like that?
Or would it be safe to use JB weld on something like this
Any other ideas?
Thanks

Get two of them and just have a rad shop or a welder quickly tack them on for you.They come in bigger thread sizes as well in NPT and AN.
