new radiator
wonder where is the best place to buy a new radiator for a 1930? I see Brass Works but the price is pretty high.

Re: new radiator
I just purchased and installed my radiator from CW Moss. Price comparable to others but had it in stock. No more overheating so far.

Re: new radiator
Put a Brassworks rad in my Model T. Perfect fit and runs cool and looks good. Bought it 7 or 8 years ago and have forgotten what I paid but I got my money's worth.

Re: new radiator
if you dont like the price of the Brassworks, you could always have yours cleaned and repaired and it might work. You'll still spend a small fortune at a rad repair shop.

Re: new radiator
Along those lines - I might do that I was sure that my radiator was original but not sure it is. what's the best way I can tell?

Re: new radiator
Be careful going to radiator shops. Most won't rod it out. Call around first. You don't need an acid bath, or pressure tested.

Re: new radiator
Is brassworks better than the HD radiator Snyder’s sell?

Re: new radiator
Berts Model A sells recored original radiators. They use 4 rows of tubes rather than three. I have had one for over ten years.
