Recoreing a FB/EK Radiator

[WayneXG95]

Anyone got a idea on how much it would cost to recore one?

[Trev]

I paid $275 a couple of years ago.

I paid $360 for a triple core re-core on a an early kingswood radiator, this also included the fitting of a heat exchanger plumbed into the bottom tank for the tranny. Very happy with the work.

i got quoted $300 a few years back for a triple core from ABC Radiators at Revesby

they only need recoreing once they start to fall apart, once they are cleaned the way tim said they are as good as new, another one of my ex jobs i actually worked for ABC radiators but at penrith

Sorry to dredge up an old but had to get mine re-cored this week - was not worth repairing as it had dents and cracks everywhere.
Went to mideast radiators in Nunawading and they say they can't match the original core anymore - they use a 2 row core which is a bit lower volume and a bit narrower but managed to chase down a mob in QLD that make a triple core with boxed in bottom - so they don't use the bottom tank (it's still there but blanked out) and it gives a slightly more than original volume - not cheap though at 600$ - will post some pics when it gets here later in the week.
