My radiator just sprung a leak. 2 shops so far said they could not fix it and the core needs replaced. It is a diamond or honeycomb core.

Any idea where to obtain the proper core.

Mike, don’t know where you live but call Mark at ABC Radiator in Baltimore, contact info on website. Well established shop that recored my radiator although I have a 52. Price was reasonable and below some of the competition. When I first visited his shop he had a bobtail Kenworth in the shop just to give you the range of work done. As far as your own special requirements I can’t answer but you have nothing to lose with a phone call.

Maine radiator mfg in Lewiston ME makes the honeycomb cores. They are expensive, like three grand. They have other styles that are cheaper that could work. A good radiator shop will get what you want from them, remove the top and bottom tank from yours and mount it on the new core.

Thanks for the quick replies.
I will get started trying to get it fixed
