Bend a paper clip of other small wire into an "L" shape with the short side
being about
1/8".
Slide the clip in between fins from the front of the radiator until the wire
comes out the back. This
is best done right against either the top or bottom tank.
There are tubes that run from top to bottom with the fins between them. Use
the hook to feel
how many tubes there are as you slowly pull it out. You will feel 2, 3, or 4.
In more modern times it was discovered that adding more rows was not the best
way to get the
most cooling out of a radiator. The newer high efficiency radiators have more
than twice as
many fins as the older ones. This really helps on the cooling.
