Looking for opinion on replacement radiator
 

i'm asking for some experience with manufacturers of replacement radiators. My original stock radiator has sprung a leak on the top of the core. Debating on which manufacturer to buy. Anyone have experience to share??? looking for a touring quality unit. Appreciate some opinions. Rick Jensen

X-2 Bergs, he claims that most of his customers say his radiator runs to cool, E-mail him and he will call you. If I didn't run a thermostat mine would run to cool.

I am happy with by Bergs but Brassworks is OK too. Just don't buy an off brand.

Yep: I already have one ordered from Gery @ Bergs. Just needed a pat on the back. After 60 years, I have as much invested in one Tudor as I would have in 2 Tesla's,,,But that said my Tudor will still be around when Tesla will only be a memory.:)

Good choice. I put a new Brassworks in my ‘29. It had a leak in the upper tank when it was brand new.

I recently researched new radiators and Bergs was $100 more than Brassworks but Brassworks seemed to have some issues with assembly. Yes!, go with Bergs, $100 is not worth any possible trouble.

I have been very happy with Bergs. 3 friends also are very content. You can’t argue with success!

And what did Lee at Brassworks say when you contacted him about the problem?

My clubmembers all recomend Bergs when someone needs a radiator.

I installed a Brassworks a couple months ago. Well made, works well. Many dealers carry the Brassworks. If it wasn't good, they would not take that chance.
