Cheap, Foreign Made, Model A Radiator, report

Recommended Posts

Needed a replacement radiator for my 30 Roadster but didn't have an extra $1000+ for a Brass Works one.  I took a chance and bought a five row aluminum Model A radiator on eBay for $349 free shipping.  My findings: very light, cheap looking and required an unbelievable amount of fitting (read PATIENCE),  BUT, once properly installed it worked like a champ!   Clean, free flowing, problem solved.  

              * radiator neck was the threaded style not the twist 1930 -31 style.  Not really a problem as I had a 29 cap.

I put one of Snyder's lower priced radiators in my '31 "A" roadster.  A couple of years ago and so far so good.  The only problem I had with it is the inlet spout (lack of a better word) on the radiator top tank.  Did not line up properly with the outlet on the head.  A little bit longer then stock radiator hose fixed the problem.😊
