The Ford Barn

When I bought my 1929 Roadster the guy had just put a Brassworks flat fin one that not only did not look right, the hood fit was a total joke.. I tried for two days to get it even close, no way!!... Also the ORIGINAL motor meter would not go on, it was hitting the over flow tube which was in dead center... Lucky for me I got the ORIGINAL round tube radiator with the car & sent it out to BERGS RADIATOR and had them use the ORIGINAL tanks on a round tube core & it all fit like it just came from Ford.. I still have the piece of junk in my garage, any one need one ??... P.S. The angle of the lower tank neck on the B/W one was also way off..

My experiences with BrassWorks radiators ain't the best either.

If and when I ever make up my mind on how much I want to spend..

. I will buy either a Bergs or an original "A" radiator in good shape and if needed send it to Bergs.

Have had one for 12 yrs. with no problems. And are less than Bergs. I have one in my T also, with no problems for 2 yrs
