New Radiator

[Billybob57]

I have a 1930 Tudor and the Radiator isn't repairable. I'm just rebuilding the car for a fun ride for the grandkids, not a show car. Where is a good place to buy a reliable, inexpensive one?

No such critter exists. Just buy Berg’s.

Unfortunatelt almost any radiator will cost close to $600 or more.

Yes. I have a Brassworks in my coupe. It fit perfectly and works beautifully.

Snyders - $590 regular $675 HD made in Chicago. Best for the money I know of.

I bought a used radiator from a friend for $50. It worked well for in town but overheated when pushed on hot days. I sold it for $100 and bought a Bergs.

Bottom line: You may be able to buy a used one that will suit your needs.

Investigate having your existing radiator re-cored by a local shop.

You can buy an aluminum radiator off of ebay for around $250. Some report good fitment, some not so much so I'd pay attention to the feedback from the different sellers.
