Radiator price made my day

what a stunning price...

FYI I just paid 1200 A$s for a D4 7U core. But it was very well made and by Aussies too, surprisingly in these days of mass Asian imports.

So I am consoling myself over the massive wallet hit by focussing on the quality plus the fact that I keeping the remnants of the Australian manufacturing industry alive for a bit longer😊

Question: is it brass/copper/steel or aluminium?

great price, wonder what they want for a d-8 2-u ?

Either it was an old price on overstock or else when you get it, it will be the wrong one.
If not, then AWESOME!

You know I was more worried about getting the deal done before they could back out to ask them if it was brass/copper or aluminum. I'll let you know when it gets here. He said that it would take a day to make it, and two days to ship. That's pretty good since they're 1050 miles from me.

I'll take it even if it's aluminum or even steel cause mine is so bad. I have read that steel is even higher priced than brass/copper cause it's a lot harder to draw it into thin tubes.

He did say something about an installation kit. I think that means that the headers are blank and you have to drill them, after doing a bit of research on here before I ordered from them. I don't mind doing that at all. I've already made the gaskets once.

I've already had the tanks off before to clean them and to rod the old core, which was really plugged with lime/scale. Someone before me had been running creek water in it, with decomposed granite from the area where I bought it still in the tanks.

To make a drill template for the new core just cut the plates off the old one, then you can place them on the new core and drill the holes.
That way you do not have to go to the trouble of laying out all the holes and worry about the drill drifting when you drill the holes.

I have used General Radiator several times and I have been please with the results as well. They are not a perfect match but pretty close.

Curiosity got the best of me today so I called them back to see what the new core was made from. He said it was brass/copper. They make very few radiators out of aluminum.

I haven't sold my old core yet so that I could use the headers as a template.

I used Heatex Radiator out of Roseville MI to make my cat 25 core. I sent them my core and they made another one then sent both of them back to me. The new core has brass plates and a copper core. It cost me 750$ to be made some of the holes are off but nothing my die grinder couldnt fix. Im very pleased with there work. I dont know if they kept a record of my core or not. Their phone # is 586-773-0770

I have used Heatex Radiator also, my holes were off a titch too, but I didnt mind. I called them and they had a 22 core in there computer... Made me one and within a few days I had it. Very pleased with them, I think it was $350.
