Hi:

Does anyone have a good radiator (new or used) which I can buy for my 28 Tudor restoration? I'm from Prince Edward Island, Canada so hopefully I can source one in Canada as shipping that large of an item from US can be very costly.

However if I can find one in US reasonable enough I will consider getting it shipped. If anyone has one in Northeastern states this is the closest to me and I could make a trip out of it to pick it up.

OR where is the best source for radiators ?

Wilfred

Look at the main page on this site, you will see Berg's and Brassworks as radiator suppliers. If you are restoring for correctness and judging theses may be your answer. I have a '29 Tudor driver with a replacement from Snyders, heavy duty USA made Walker that fit perfect and works great. $585.00 I don't know about shipping. Good luck.

That $585 to Canada will be plus approximately 30 % exchange, plus HST 13 % plus shipping $100 or likely more Do you can expect that 585 dollars to be over $1000 dollars. Wayne

That's a decent price but when I pay with Canadian dollars the exchange rate now adds at least 30 per cent to the price of both the item and shipping so gets pricey. It's definitely a great time to visit or buy from Canada. Even though prices might be higher here you still win.
A couple of years ago the dollar was around par so not so bad.

Anyway thanks for your reply and I will still look into it.

yes that is unfortinate, maybe if you want to go from a US supplier a fellow fordbarner near you in the states could be your "middleman" so you just meet him/her and pay them the US price.

The Heavy Duty Radiator from George Moir's in Edmonton is the one I went with.I received it this week and it looks great.The Dimensions are bang on with the radiator I removed.I will remove the wiring harness clips from the radiator though since my '28 has a metal shroud with a built in channel for the harness. I've just refinished it today.
