Reweld Radiator Stand

[chadjmccolm]

Context

The radiator stand was welded in haste by a beginner and one of the welds did not hold. The reason is that too high amperage was used to weld it and the aluminum burned. The burned areas did not conduct well enough to continue the weld.

The stand will need to be removed, the affected area sanded down to remove any burned material, and re-welded. All other welds should be fine.

Additional info can be found in the engine review doc here.

Outcomes

The outcomes for the project are the following:

• [ ] produce a sturdy radiator stand

Constraints

There are no major constraints for this project

• radiator stand must mount onto engine stand or otherwise allow bench testing to happen without impeding operator safety
• radiator fill cap must be the highest point in the cooling system
