Does anyone have opinion/experience re: NOS vs. repro radiator/heater core parts?



On the one hand, I suspect 50 yr. old solder work could be suspect? On the other, repro parts made overseas might contain inferior metallurgy?

Daniel,  I got my radiator Recored using my original tank with 3 rows. It looks exactly like the original with the same mounting brackets etc. I had it recored at a good Radiator shop nearby. It cost me $250 which I thought was reasonable compared to a repop.

Yeah, you got a deal there. Here they want over $400 to re-do my radiator. I need a new one and am shopping for one. I saw one on the net the other day for $320 but can't find it again to save my ass. One can get an aluminum one for like $500 but that's a little too steep for me. I'll just keep on shoppin' .. anybody know where there's a deal?
