Repurposing Heater Core
Posted: 17 May 2017 07:03
So a few weeks ago I found two brass heater cores at an estate sale. For $10, I thought they were a bargain and I was sure I could find something to use them for. Aside from using them as a heater core (duh), what other purposes can you guys think of? I was pondering an oil cooler perhaps? Or maybe a secondary miniature radiator for use during the summer months? What would be the strengths and weaknesses of using a miniature brass radiator in a manner other than what it was intended for? I know there are affordable options for new aluminum styles, but these have that cool vintage look...and my radiator guy swears by brass over aluminum.
I will post pics later today.
(Disclaimer - I will have them cleaned and pressure checked prior to any use)
