That may be how they used to be made...

But, Not one of the folks in that vid were Chinese.

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.

SpectraPremium still makes rads and condensors in Canada.

Sweet. And they make plenty of parts for our vans. Check out their catalog: http://ecat.spectrapremium.com/
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.
