IMPORTANT!

Read and understand your warranty before installing or modifying your radiator

RADIATOR INSTRUCTIONS

Do not leave your radiator in the box; remove and inspect it, install it, flush fluids through the radiator and polish brass as needed. Radiators are constructed with solder and flux, a mildly corrosive acid. Each radiator is pressure tested in a test tank to assure there are no leaks and neutralize any flux used in the assembly. Leaving a radiator in a sealed box for a prolonged time may result in oxidation. Oxidation will cause polished brass radiator to turn a light orange hue and in extreme cases may “etch” the metal. This can be avoided by circulating fluids in the radiator and in the case of polished brass radiators, polishing the metal.

We recommend the use of distilled water to prevent premature mineral build-up in engines and radiators. Our customers often use a combination of 50/50 distilled water and ethyl glycol and report success. We are unaware of any long-term consequence to this common coolant.

RADIATOR SATISFACTION GUARANTEE

The Brassworks produces handcrafted reproduction radiators based upon original radiator specifications. Every radiator is inspected and tested before shipping. Please inspect your radiator upon receipt as your vehicle parts may not be original and this may affect fitment. Take care to not damage the radiator when inspecting. If you are confident in the quality of the product and compare the fit to your existing radiator before you proceed with installation. Reproduction radiators which have been installed and show evidence of having been used are NOT eligible for a refund.

If for any reason you are not satisfied with our product or perceive a difference in the construction then STOP and contact us immediately. We will NOT ACCEPT ANY reproduction radiator for return which has been installed, run or modified. The radiator MUST be in a new, saleable and unaltered condition.
