I need to get a new radiator for my 1929 A. Who sells a decent one at a decent price? My car is a driver, it does not have to be 100% like the original. (Needs to fit perfectly and look original to the untrained eye however)
Thank you.
 
I recomend spending the money and get a good quality one from Brassworks or Berg's. A cheap one will just make you mad, and perhaps damage the engine. The cheap ones also do not always fit well.

Eagle , Yes been there done that . the frecking things don,t fit , Had to move the filler neck as too far back, no over flow pipe , no top baffle , spend days e mailing them, sent them full measurements, offered an original one to copy , Short of it all after I had it modified its not too bad , would I do it again , HELL NO , Why did I try in the 1st place well someone on here said they where good & at over $1000 for a recore here took his word. Some one needs to teach Asians English ??Like what part of F off don,t you understand , Be warned these do not fit , Pate here we come.
 
I bought a Brassworks for my '29. Perfect fit, no issues at all after 2000 miles. A tad under $600. I recommend them.

Any black radiator looks original to the "untrained" eye.
 
The Berg's radiator that I bought for my '28 roadster three years ago fit like a glove and felt as heavy as the original. It looks just like the one it replaced. The engine never overheats.

you can't go wrong with either of the two above. Yes you get what you pay for! If you go cheap you will pay the price later. Wayne

Ha! Figured it was too good to be true! Thanks for the input.
 
Brassworks. They know their stuff, you pay the right price for a perfect working radiator for either a DRIVER or a SHOW car.
 
Brassworks on my 29 and don't forget they have the hood clips on them so you don't have to buy the hood prop kits extra for the 28/29s.
