Brasswork's Radiator
In lieu of the other thread concerning Snyder's replacement radiators; how are the brasswork's radiators?

Re: Brasswork's Radiator
I had to tweak the bracket that holds the shell on in one corner of the radiator, and that was to fit an original shell. But other than that it was perfect and works great. That was 9 months ago. Good radiators are expensive, but nine months on I don’t miss the money and my car runs cool.

Re: Brasswork's Radiator
When I called Brassworks to order a radiator, they told me it would be several months before I would receive it. I ordered a radiator from Bergs and the first thing I noticed (besides the quick delivery) was how physically heavy it was compared to my other Model A radiators. It has worked like a champ ever since...........

Re: Brasswork's Radiator
My HD, pressurised Brassworks radiator isn't up up to the job. I have cleaned out the rest of the system well but still I sometimes boil it.

Re: Brasswork's Radiator
Bought one for our 15 T several years ago and it's wonderful. Car runs cool on hot days without a water pump. The initial investment is soon forgotten when it serves it's intended purpose without problems. Never heard of problems with Model A radiators from Brassworks.

Mine works Great. 2 mile 8% grade between my house and town and it doesn't overheat.
Good Luck |

Good point, and that's another reason I chose BERG'S. The other repro radiator was 10 pounds lighter than the original 1930 AA radiator. |

Re: Brasswork's Radiator
I bought the very last round-tube 28/29 Model A Brassworks radiator in stock after they stopped making them.
Had it several months before installing. The Brassworks radiator fit perfectly. It is very heavy, and that is good. The car it is in runs cool enough on most days, but when it is close to 100 degrees outside, if you climb a hill, the car will overheat and start sneezing coolant droplets onto the windshield. I just figured that's the price you pay for originality. It sure looks nice though. |

Re: Brasswork's Radiator
When I was a kid I installed a radiator from JC Whitney. 40 years later it is still doing a great job. Who woulda thunk it?

Re: Brasswork's Radiator
Just a note to think about. If you have a good radiator and are running warm/hot, then check to see that your carburetor is not running too lean and that your timing is correct. It is logical to blame the radiator, it is not always guilty. Ernie
