Radiator is shot

[coalminingman]

I have a 1930 Tudor Sedan. My radiator developed a small leak that turned into several leaks. I took it to a radiator shop last week. He called yesterday and said it could not be fixed. Any suggestions on some sort of stopleak? Looks like radiators are going for over $500.

buy a new radiator /// even if you somehow sealed it up most likely its partially clogged which can cause your engine to run hotter than normal
i have had good luck with Bergs.... i believe it is closer to 700 shipped //you get what you pay for goodluck

I agree with Mitch, that once you have several leaks you'll never be happy until it has a new radiator. I bought a Berg's core for my 28-9 A's just to have as a spare. It looks just like my original round tube. I don't know if you can buy just the core for your 1930, but I would buy the core or complete radiator from Berg's also.

How are brasswork's radiators? I've heard good things about them...

Brassworks quality is on the rebound for sure. They are selling enough where getting them made fast enough is tough. Kind of a good thing for Lee I guess.

No complaints on my Berg Radiator. Top quality piece for sure.

Just wondering, other than going direct which vendors sell which radiators?

I purchased one from Snyders for my 31 RPU. It was a heavy duty one. I am very happy with it. The packaging was awesome and they stand by their products.

call the jobbers direct and ask

Last week I replaced the radiator in my '31 roadster with one from Brassworks. Lee and his crew do a great job. I am thoroughly pleased and recommend them. The installation went very well because everything lined up. Saturday we had a Sierra Chapter breakfast and tour up into the Sierra foothills and the roadster performed perfectly. I am a Breastworks fan! Russ

I also have one from Brassworks. Very happy with both fit and finish. John

Berg's had several on display at Hershey. Truly works of art.

Thanks for all the replies. I will definitely go with Berg's or Brassworks.

A freudian slip?

But that's OK...I am also a big fan of "Breastworks"

I saw Bergs booth at Hershey and their radiators are very nice. However if you have a 30-31 and you want the original dimpled fin, Bergs doesn't do that and but Brassworks does.
