Cool Video. Many Tanks, Lol...
I used to set up and run some of those Machines I saw.
A CNC Turrett press - like at 2:22 , 2:37.
Non CNC punches like at around 4:00.
We werent making Rads, but these presses are used in all sorts of mass production.
We made Natural Gas Fireplaces, and wood burning stoves.
I think they do basically the same process now, but with Aluminium, and, In China.

Sweet. And they make plenty of parts for our vans. Check out their catalog: http://ecat.spectrapremium.com/sfeaver wrote:SpectraPremium still makes rads and condensors in Canada.
The trick is going to be finding retail outlets that carry it.

Wish I could get one made like that for my wife's Jeep. Stupid plastic tanks.
