No. Very hard to envisage how. I realise it may come back to haunt me that.

With great trepidation, (and a high impact puncher hammer) I approached the exit-side baffle this morning. It came out with the lightest of taps - clearly designed to fall out easily. The rad is now mounted and producing excellent heat all over. Result. Thanks to everyone who contributed to my...

Good point, but I am worrying about the slivers of steel circulate around the system forever more. The rad is big and heavy - not easy to manipulate in order to repeatedly rinse out.

I have no idea as to make - it was a bargain though! I would really like to know how to go about removing the baffle.
