Radiator Recore

Recoring was once an extremely common procedure for all makes and models. With the availability of cheap new radiators, and tightening environmental restrictions, recoring is not as common as it once was.  There is still a place for recoring though, and it meets the challenge very well. New motor? Different motor? Supercharged? Chevy motor in a jeep? Chevy motor in a old Ford? Recore is the answer. The hose connections can be moved to accommodate a new location or hose diameter. And of course it's will fit perfectly in the chassis since the original brackets are still in use. Ain't nothin' like a recore.

Old core was restricted and leaky Tanks and brackets are cleaned and blasted. This is your radiator Jere. Then assembled on the new core.

A plugged radiator, some "fin rot",  and  a new motor, means that this Land Rover will be getting a recore.

This replacement core is the same overall dimension But look how many more tubes there are And the fins are louvered on the new unit The days of leakin' and overheatin' are long gone.

Beko picks up the old one which was plugged and leaking. The next day the new core arrives..... and brought inside to assemble
The call came in. "We've got a Fire truck down" "It's 10-1/2 hours to pull the radiator. Make sure it's 'right' when we get it back" We called for a core. Made exactly as per dimension. And delivered to our door.
Once assembled, it is tested and dried.... then painted. Aerial Ladder Truck 4165 will soon be in service! A Hard Worker Is Always Proud Of His Work.
Radiator assembled with new core. Tested, dried, painted.... And delivered.  Tom has seen a few radiator in 30 years...
