Josef If all you want is a core you should get a new one. I can't see ripping a good radiator apart for the core, and soldering a 100 year old core to your tanks without leaks will be extremely expensive. They make modern cores in all types and any color for dirt cheap. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kikta Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I re-cored my 1922 radiator for about $2300.00 with honeycomb core Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepcak Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 .....that does not really look like dirt cheap stuff 😉 I have researched a bit and was not able to find the core with squares that would duplicate shape Buick used then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Can a radiator shop repair your radiator? It didn't look too bad in the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kikta Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 My radiator shop told me that the square finned cores were available from Japan only for about 4,000.00 so I opted for the honeycomb because it at least looks period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Wright Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 My 1918 doesn't have honeycomb. It's little squares. Honeycomb is little hexagons. His 1917 is little Kentucky shaped thingies . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
