Author Topic: Beware! US Radiator Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 08-06-2004 03:38 AM                     I know that several FT members, like myself, are into classic cars. Being summertime and all, just a little note regarding US Radiator (tm). US Radiator is known for poor fit and quality. The past few days have resulted in a lot of grief! I posted my problem in another web-forum for Falcon people...and received 160 hits in less than 48 hours! So just a little note to beware...  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-06-2004 06:41 AM                        Radiators are becoming more of a problem, it's hard to get a decent re-core any more! All those small operators of rad shops are fadiing out as the businesses aren't really supported any more by demand. For folks who don't have a great 'legacy' radiator shop around anymore, it's off to dealing with expensive boutique folk. I've heard some good reports about Griffin radiator http://www.griffinrad.com/classic.php that their prices are about in line with current materials prices for copper & brass radiators. I haven't used them; I know a local shop that's worked for me.  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash.
