At least my Brassworks radiator (and probably all of them) is only an original one re cored. When the steel strap under the bottom tank was reattached, it wasn't soldered properly - not even tinned. The rust that developed between the strap and the bottom tank lead to the bottom tank splitting. Mine had a 4" split. There were other issues with my radiator too but that was unforgivably poor quality. Brassworks advertise "Made in the USA". IMO, that degrades the standing of "Made in the USA". By my experience, they are just another example of foreign junk.
