Tom,

Your generosity doesn't quit!

Having said that what's the cost for a re-core compared to the cost of the
aluminum radiator?

I'm sure it got discussed here before but I can't remember what prices were
quoted.

I do vaguely remember someone mentioning that the core needed to be 14 tubes
per inch; have I got that much right?

Regards,
Rob M.

Subject: [GMCnet] Radiator Rebuild

I have the damaged radiator from Marc's GMC. Since only the end caps are
needed for a re-core, I don't want to store the entire thing. How do you
remove just the end caps and toss the highly damaged core? Will this
require a professional shop to do the deed? Or, can you just cut most of the
core off with a cut-off saw, about 2 inches from the cap. The object is not
to rebuild this radiator now, but to be able to supply the caps to someone
who has a desperate need.

Tom, no GMC = no radiator

John Nicholls went through the recore job here last year. the shop wanted 750 bucks to recore his.

Tom some good grade Stopleak ought to fix that old on up?
