Re: New Radiator Opinions
Reach out to Bert's concerning their 4-row re-cored radiator. I have one of these in my Victoria and it hardly gets above 150 deg on a 90 deg day. Fitment is great too.

Re: New Radiator Opinions
I didn't see Berg's mentioned. I went with him and what a nice guy. Since I installed his radiator I believe the only way to overheat is to set the car on fire.

Re: New Radiator Opinions
I think it was Berg's that was making them for Snyder's when I bought mine several years ago. Don't know who Snyder's is using now.

Re: New Radiator Opinions
Prater Radiator in Orlando(just south of downtown) does a very good job. I took mine back after many, many years - they repaired it free of charge. Original price was fair.

Re: New Radiator Opinions
Installed a Berg’s 2 years ago, cooled way too good, installed a 160* thermostat, runs about 175* on a hot summer day

Re: New Radiator Opinions
And when you get that new radiator installed, make darn
sure your fan is good. Don't need a old fan ruining things!

Re: New Radiator Opinions
I love my Berts radiator. I am sorry they went out of business.

Re: New Radiator Opinions
Hello, agree that it is hard to find a radiator repair shop anymore, had mine repaired after checking with four other shops, only one could actually clean and repair it, they went out of business about 2 months after the repair , were in around before WW2 .Family that inherited the shop didn’t want to keep it going.

A modern repair shop

Re: New Radiator Opinions
At about 7:20, was he soldering over a hole?
At the end, when he was soldering on bracket, he used the big iron. Would the torch have unsoldered the tank? |

Re: New Radiator Opinions
I own a radiator core made by Maine Radiator Manufacturing in Lewiston, Maine. My local radiator shop removed the upper and lower cans from my old radiator and installed a new core from Maine Radiator. Maine Radiator cores are manufactored in the USA. They make all sizes and types of truck, auto, and antique auto cores. I highly recommend checking them out.

As I understand it, Maine Radiator only sells through distributors/ commercial customers. |
