brass radiator

[Cider Mill]

I bought a 1915 T with an original radiator that has been poorly repaired, is bulging at the top, and the car over heats after just a few miles. Is it worth my time and $ to get the radiator repaired? Can it be be repaired? Or should I just buy a new replacement? I'd like to keep it original, but I'm not sure this one can be fixed to look good and work good.

I would say replace it. A new brass radiator is expensive, but worth it. I bought a flat-tube radiator from Brassworks, and it runs very cool, no issues.

lots of money about $1700.00 last time I looked.

Good secondhand ones show up all the time. I bought a perfectly good one for my '11 for 375.00 at a car show.

Buy new, it will be clean, elimate problems, and run cooler, and look new and shiny

Here is a guy that worked on a 1915 radiator.

Check with Berg's radiator. I understand they now offer brass radiators a a very competetive price.
