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?

the only problem you may have with a re-core is the size of the top tank can cause some flex around the solder joints which may cause a very small leak i have had a re-core in my ute for nearly 3 years & have had it re-soldered once due to it not being done properly in the first place my ute is a daily driver it does 100-150 miles per week.
