The steel hadn't been tinned, allowing the rust to get going under there. I had it repaired each time at the same radiator shop and now, I'm hoping (again) that I might get a decent life out of it. The repairs have cost me at least as much as the radiator itself did originally.
During discussions with Brassworks, they said that they don't make radiators - they only recore originals.
If I ever need another radiator, I'll have my own recored locally.
Not sure how you took away that we do not make radiators. It's what we do. We traded numerous emails and I explained how they were made in by Ford and how we make them and why a number of things were "curious" in your description of this radiator constructed in late 2013. I am sorry you had a problem and regret you do not find more happiness from the hobby.
