in need of a new radiator. What I'm looking for is someone who has replaced one and they were happy with the installation...looks ...and a model number and supplier. I don't want to just go on a picture and find out insatallation is a nightmare. Thanks in advance for all opinions.

I got this one from Bratton's and installed it this past Spring.

It popped right in and fit like the original. No troubles so far.

Keep in mind, mine is a daily-driver and I wasn't looking for one that would be appropriate for fine-points judging. I cannot speak one way or another about how it would be judged on a fine-points car. I was looking for function, and I am very happy with it.

Good luck,

Ken

Tom there are literally hundreds of posts about radiators and users experiences. I would search and read a few before I spend that money. I personally like Berg's Radiators. I have installed several and the fit has always been spot on.

I purchased the $585.## dollar unit from Snyder's for my '29 Tudor. USA made Walker that fits and performs perfectly. Mines not a daily driver, but I do drive it most everyday.

I just completed the installation of a Brassworks heavy duty radiator for my 1930 coupe. It has 10 fins per inch. It looks great, was a perfect fit, and the engine does not over heat now. I bought the radiator from Brattons. It was drop shipped and arrived very quickly. It was well packed and had no damage from shipping. I couldn't be more pleased.

Dick,
Minerva had a WALKER 10 fin per inch, made in 1996 & it did EXCELLENT, even on 112 Degree days in crowded city driving.
