Re: 1926 TT radiator
I don't know about radiator cores, but CONGRATULATIONS on getting a TT!!!
Technology, the solution to all of our problems... and the cause of most of them.

Re: 1926 TT radiator
The TT radiator is standard T - so anywhere you can get a T radiator core is good.
Cheers, and enjoy the TT

Re: 1926 TT radiator
I had my 19 Roadster radiator recored for 600.00. A new radiator from Bergs is around 900.00. You can save around 300.00 by getting a recore. I am in Texas and the shops in my area were all in the 600.00 range.
The core itself was in the 400.00 range.
Go a shop that deals in industrial, farm and big truck cores. The company that the shop used had them make a core for my T radiator. It’s a flat tube and works great.
Most automotive shops that are in my area wouldn’t touch it.

Re: 1926 TT radiator
Start asking around your local car clubs and shows. Also change your post title to ID your area.
Try to find the independent guy who’s been there forever. Got mine re-cored earlier this year for 360.
He was recommended to me on this forum.
The old guys take pride in working on T radiators. The modern radiator ‘shops’ see $$$ when they hear Model T.

If my short term memory gets any shorter, I won’t even have thought about what I’m going to forget.

Re: 1926 TT radiator
Yes, be sure they know they have to take it apart to recore. I was quoted a price and they came back and said they wanted more. Make sure they understand it cant be twisted and the mounting holes have to be right. Just some issues I had at a highly recomended shop. That said, You wont be disappointed with a new core or radiator. Best money I spent to make the T enjoyable!
