Willy Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 My 1918 radiator has a honeycomb mesh - is that normal? All the other I see have straight fins. Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobs1916 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Brassworks has the pattern There is also a company I think it is vintage radiators of Maine which may be cheaper Brassworks is VERY pricey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cahartley Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 There is no such thing as a cheap honeycomb radiator. Everything I have heard or read suggests around 5K minimum. There is a way around it if you would settle for a faux front radiator however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Mine came with a honeycomb rad too but it was clogged and they can't be rodded. I was under the impression they were aftermarket replacements too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Willy, McCord honeycomb radiators were factory installed overlapping with tube & fin in '16 - '17 probably due to production shortages. I have 3 different '16 parts manuals of different printing dates and two of them show honeycomb radiators in the graphics. Rodger "Dodger" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
