Radiators  -  Main Radiators, Auxilary Radiators, Engine Radiators and Water Intercooler Radiators

The first job is to pressure test, flow test and visually check the radiator to diagnose the problem. 

The test results will determine which of the following options are appropriate. 

​Build:

  • Build a new copper and brass replacement radiator, which is repairable if future damage occurs. Usually replaces an aluminium radiator, which is non-repairable.
