radiator recore?


Recommended Posts

The oem radiator that was on my car had some obvious signs of leaking at some point - and decided to replace it with a griffon alum one

 

the old one, is it worth having recored?

 

was 500 for the alum one - as far as ive read online recoreing could cost more than that, for less cooling capacity

 

any thoughts on what to do with the old one?

 

thanks

feel bad scrapping it for 2$

 

anybody interested in having an extra to recore?

 

had to do a bit of bodging to get my alum one to fit, including torching the bottom support and hammering it flat <-pain in the eye balls

has a flat bottom vs the curved shape of oem - hammered flat

 

the bolts didnt line up - the radiator support pieces was mangled in a front end somewhere in the cars earlier life

 

suppose it would be bolt on in a nice model
