Local junior high shop class project?
Welding aluminum is still one of my goals. My brand new never used tig welder got flooded so that learning curve got kicked back. One day....

Flooded? Just hold the foot to the floor while turning the key.

Nor bad for a 5 year old in a Chinese sweat shop!
Don’t piss off the old people - the older they get the less “life in prison” is a deterrent for them!

____ ____ Radiators are Oversized and Braced, and made of the highest quality materials and workmanship.
Thank you for posting our new CRF450R radiators. Glad you are watching our Instagram or Facebook where we post new products.
Photos do not show everything. The welds were done like this for a reason.
What the picture angle did not show was the radiator mounting hole that needed clearance that a weld would have blocked so by welding this way you can mount the radiators.
The weld at the top would have been welded to the fitting and if you whacked the radiator it could rip a hole in the fitting.

But what about the rest of the welds, were they all done like that for a reason too?
TM USA likes our radiator quality and materials enough to stock them. Packing some for shipment Monday.

The guessets and/or radiators arent even square to each other. Terrible craftsmanship.
That's what jumped out at me. Those gussets look pretty bad. The holes are all over the place and they not even deburred/chamfered.
If no one in the build process noticed that and fixed/rejected them, what does that say about the rest of the product.
