Ooooo tell me more

 

Oh no,you didn't.....

My oldest daughter drew this for me!!!!! I'm so proud

 

I'm hoping next Thursday

@nastyneight what you think?

 

You can start Thursday I have to work, get a crew together

 

Dinner Raleigh, Garner somewhere with fish but isn't trendy or high zoot ?

 

Fish, I'm out. Besides got half a Mellow Mushroom Calzone in the oven.

 

There's lots of talk of getting food and taking trips together in here... is this discount Grinder?

 

We just get bored, come find out. #nohomo

 

I was if you sold yours to me.. found another deal. I figured the OE's could be resold easily for when I wanted to go bigger, this just stepped up the schedule.

 

Maybe you keep doing it until you have a radiator made of solder.

 

its scrap now, about 22lbs of it

 

Bright side, you recycle at aluminum prices for lead and tin added.

Hmmmmm.

 

BRASS, is why the new one is so expensive ($1400, and thats aftermarket)

 

What is better about the brass? Longevity?

 

at one time it was cheaper than aluminum, has slightly better heat transfer and more durable than aluminum

almost EVERY vehicle up until about the mid late '80's had a brass radiator, and they were reasonably priced, not so much anymore since copper prices went crazy ( brass is an alloy of copper and zinc )

 

Okay, but you did replace it with an aluminum one right?

 

no, brass, this wasn't in a Tacoma

 

No, I get that. We have aluminum radiators and as you said, the brass ones haven't been used in years.
I'm thinking back and I think even my '70 nova and 78 G-10 had aluminum, but they may have been a replacement, and the G-10 may have been painted silver.
I think my 79 Corolla may have been brass.. or it was plastic and my memory was copper stop-leak in the opening.

No, what I was asking was since you had to patch this one up so often, and it's most likely on a piece of industrial equipment, and the aluminum radiators are cheaper, stronger and lighter. Is there really such an improvement in cooling that justifies staying with the brass?
