It's a little rainy today, in Montreal, so I'm getting a few things done. The original /6 heat exchangers I got from Jon Lowe were in pretty good condition, except that one had a hole in it.
So I brazed in a patch. I like brazing for this sort of work because it's easy and leaves a low profile patch. Unfortunately, I left a couple of little gaps after the first go-around. Attached image(s)

Back from the chrome shop. I simply had them dip the heat-exchangers and sand blast them. Quite a bit of pitting, and I found hole in the header itself. Nothing that can't be fixed quite easily.
