I looked all through this thread and
your photo album at photobucket, but never found a picture of the nosepiece with a recognizable 6" diameter half circle / adjustable radiator inlet.
Assuming the construction of the nosepiece is comparable to the construction of the boat tail? ...
- What type of metal strips were used? Steel? Aluminum.
- What was the gauge and width of the metal strips?
- I see all or most of the joints were double riveted. Are they pop rivets?
- What size rivets were used?
- Any other construction details regarding the nosepiece would be greatly appreciated.
