Emanuel Aufiero of E.A. Laboratories invented the first electronically operated motor horn in 1908 and in the early forties made musical horns. This was all before he started making aftermarket heater cores for Ford dealers. We're happy to make these for you when provided a pattern.
YOU'RE BUYING A HEATER CORE NOT THE HEATER BOX PICTURED
If you have one of the heater core boxes pictured you will need to provide the pattern.
We make our own copper cores and fabricate our own tanks so, naturally, we get asked to build custom heater cores or "small radiators." Some modern Fords leak like a sieve so we make a copper alternative. We prefer to have the housing or original in hand to assure fit but if we have made them in the past and have a pattern you can order a drop in replacement.
Made in the USA.
We make to order. Please allow adequate time for us to build.
