Recoring an OEM Radiator
DM_1964:
Just curious to know the cost of getting an OEM radiator recored in the US, I've had a couple of quotes here down under and they bring a tear to the eye...

400-500 US is somewhat typical. The problem is that the cores that you can get now are different in appearance compared to the cores back in the day, the newer cores are more efficient is why they evolved however that can be bad news for a restorer try to recreate the assemblyline look.
DM_1964:
Thanks Bob, that's exactly around the pricing I've been quoted.
Not sure what the Aussie rules would be around the newer core but I'd assume as long as it resembles the original and retaining everything bar the core should do fine.

Have you found anyone that does a 2 row core near you
Also keep in mind the tube spacing centre to centre and also fins per inch
3 row recore/conversion using your original top and bottom tanks in Melbourne is about $A380

Hi Pete,
Yeah my quotes have been for both:
2 Row Aprox. $A510
3 Row Aprox $A587
The cores I'm told are Aussie made as I asked if swapping the core with a repro unit would do, that's when I was told to use locally made, there's little difference in the cost so it wouldn't be worth sacraficing a repro for the sake of it...
$380 is a good deal!
