It's interesting what you are saying. I'm not sure I would try that unless I blew a side tank seal between Jackson Mississippi and Mobile Alabama, but it's an interesting idea. I blew a seal on my '84 and I pulled the tank off the side of the radiator. I broke most of the tabs off that hold the tank to the side of the radiator because it's what looks like pot aluminum. I'm not sure how this is done by professionals but it probably involves heat to soften the metal tabs. I know they can be pulled off and fixed with a new seal because after I failed to fix that radiator, I gave up and bought a used radiator from 928 international for $400. It was remanufactured and they obviously knew how to bend the tabs without breaking them off. Shortly after I bought my '83, I went to rob a spoiler off of a parts car and got another radiator as a back up for one of my cars just in case. I paid $50 for it. That's why when you find a 928 in a junk yard, your a$$ better pull that radiator that day because you're better off paying $50 for a used one rather than $1,100 for a new one plus $50 for shipping. lol
A two tank radiator with transmission cooler and oil cooler is $1,100 last I checked. Really thinking about it. Maybe the tabs on the assembly come off in a ring around the tank seal. I'm still not sure, but people do fix the tanks when the seals blow. It can be done.
