Some of the woes I'm having with my MGB might stem from a dying radiator coupled with the hot summer we had.
Is the MGB's radiator originally cored with brass and copper? Looks like mine has some leaks.
There is a radiator shop not far from home that seems to specialize in aluminum cores. They did the core on my 1990 Olds wagon for less than $100.
Looks like new rads in all the catalogs are creeping up to the $300 range, so recoring looks more attractive. Is it possible or even a good idea to recore an MGB radiator in aluminum? Seems like it would cool more efficiently and be less prone to corrosive clogs.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
