caddyshack Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Contact "Brassworks" radiator repair. They should be able to quote whatever you need. If they can't, there are other restoration shops that could recommend this type of work.Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Musical instrument repair shops are a great place to have that type of work done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MochetVelo Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I've used Bill's in Peoria, IL. They did a good job restoring a brass radiator cover for me. Specifically for brass restoration, I've also used Britten's Brass Works in Michigan (he did a nice job on the brass horn from my Metz).Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Chidgey had a musical instrument repair shop in San Diego and did a LOT of brass repairs for the guys in the local Horseless Carriage Club and other local clubs.

Guest A1915dodge Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 There is a true art to putting together a brass radiator.Much is done by an iron to prevent warping the metal and so forth. Many radiators that come from the brassworks of places like that end up with us a few years later I can send you pictures of there sodered seems that are so thin you can almost see thru it.Or the Loizer radiator that the owner still had trouble with overheating even after spending 5,200$ the problem was that they didn't know how to cut the sides of the radiator and seal it so the pluged all the tubes except for the center and sent it out!
