: I've run repros for years.I actually put a fan clear thru
: one and was still able to repair it for years more of service.
: Walker, American, and Brassworks all make reputable repros.
: I'm running an American heavy-duty with a sealed cap and a
: stainless steel recover tank and leakless pump.Works great
: The cooling system is one thing on my Model A that requires
: just about zero attention.The American radiators are hard
: to install but the least expensive and fine once you get them
: in.(My husband showed me a little trick for encouraging
: cranky repro shells and rads to mate - you stick a screwdriver
: through the two upper holes - bracket and shell - then rock
: them until they're aligned.Now snap a pair of vice-grips on
: the shell and bracket to hold them together and stick your
: bolt through.Nut it loosely and go do the same thing on the
: other side's upper bracket.The bottom ones will now put up
: virtually no fight.Done deal.Ten minutes, tops.

Thanks for the information as long as you are having luck with the American I think I may give it a try. Do you have their phone # as I can't seem to find it.
