Now I understand why those honeycomb design radiators are so expensive and expensive to repair.  Nice job.  Thanks for posting.

Very difficult time consuming nicely done job. I believe there are only two people in the world that has the original tooling to manufacture these radiators. One fellow in England and the other is in Australia.

The basic tooling isn't complicated though you'd have to be (or know) a machinist to make it. The major drawback is time... they are time consuming to make. This is type of radiator goes back to the 1890s and was only preceded by the gilled tube type. When they were first made, there was no specialized tooling.

There were several different styles of cores that were used in the early days.

My 1918 DB Touring came with a honeycomb radiator, but I was told it's not original. Should I keep it that way, or get another?
