1928-1929 Model A Radiators

Our 1928 and 1929 Model A and Model AA truck reproduction radiators mimic the original three piece top tanks with the correct stampings, cowl rod bracket, internal baffles, funnel shaped top inlets, angled outlets and even the electric wire tabs and hood mount tabs. Each radiator is tested with an original Ford shell to assure general fit, appropriate neck placement and accurate mounting bracket placement. We test each 1928-29 with an original fan shroud to assure fit. 1928-19 radiators have the correct angle down and over to clear the generator. Please inspect your hose connection and radiator and advise us before ordering if you prefer a straight lose hose connection.

Model A radiators are available in the original round tube cores and 6 FPI for showing. Our radiators are also available with a more efficient flat tube design that outperforms Ford's original design and other reproductions. Our elongated elliptical tube has three times the surface area of Ford's early oval tube design. We also offer a 10 copper fins per inch design that provides a 40% increase in the copper fin surface area over Ford's original design. Brassworks radiators reduce your chances of overheating on tour, in parade and on those long uphill grades in the humid mountains or dry desert.
