Re: New Radiator??
I am very happy with my new Bergs. Fits good, works good.

Re: New Radiator??
I just installed my new Berg’s yesterday. 1st class all the way. 50mph in 90deg air. I could not get the engine over 160.

Re: New Radiator??
You are making a wise decision going with a new radiator (or at least a new core, which costs as much as a new radiator). Why spend thousands of dollars on an engine rebuild and then try to cool it properly with a gummed up, plugged up, brittle old pile of scrap copper?
I too have a Berg's in my 30 Cabriolet. Nothing against Brassworks, they just didn't have a radiator when I needed one. Anyway, I am in South Carolina where it is beyond "hot" in the summer and my radiator temperature is consistently in the upper 150 degrees range (i.e., 155-159). The engine temperature, measured at the head with an IR gun, is around 170 degrees. A friend of mine suggested that this is too cold for the engine to operate at. I know in the winter time, it runs quite cool and a thermostat would make sense. |

The people in my Model A club all have gone to Berg’s if they need a radiator.

Re: New Radiator??
Have used Brassworks for 30 years no problem and you dont have to send your shell to them
