Fixturing for repair of automobile radiators is disclosed, usable for recoring of either brass or plastic tank radiators, including clamping gates providing first and second sets of parallel side rails adjustably spaced to receive a radiator header with a pneumatic cylinder exerting clamping pressure on the tank top. The radiator sits atop the first set of side rails when resoldering conventional tanks and is recessed between the second set of side rails which are alternatively installed for decrimping and crimping of the header tabs of plastic tank radiators. Crimping and decrimping hand tools of special configuration are disclosed which cooperate with the second set of side rails to permit single handed operation.
