Bar plate attached on the back side of the grill
Grill Radiator DZ # 1870
Task : Repair Grill radiator DZ # 1870
first thing i have to do some analyse first on this Grill radiator
it is made from two plate welded together 8 mm each together make 16 mm thicknesses
and there is a bar plate (5 mm) width x long 750x750 mm holding the back part of the grill it is welded to the back side of the grill.
i released the bar plate from the grill first using manual oxy acetylene by doing that will make easy to bend the grill in to it place.
this is how I've done it what i am used as a tool is :
-manual oxy acetylene with heating tip
-and a tool called Baji (the one with the orange arrow)
-hammer
step by step i heated up point it not directly on the bend spot but the spot before it and using Baji i had hammered it and moving forward until it straight.
i have still got a small bend at the corner I've managed to heat it up and punch it using hammer .
and it worked.
unfortunately the dz #1870 unit has been hold , so my leader have ordered me to install it back.
so i am not 100% done with it, i don't got a chance to make a new bar holder at the back yet.
this is how it look like..
