Radiator Recores
A lot of care and attention gets put into creating the perfect core to recore your copper/brass radiator. There are many variations to consider in order to give you the result you require. We can upgrade your core and enhance its cooling efficiency or increase its durability. See below for different options available and items that require measurement with a tank removed for accuracy;
How to Measure Cores
Fins per inch (FPI) Measurements
1 inch is measured and the number of fins is counted between. Note: Images are not to scale.

ADFUSE
Precision welded with an accuracy of <0.1mm, each radiator tube is fused to the header. this creates a maximum strength bond, able to withstand constant vibration, high temperatures, and pressures associated with heavy-duty water and oil cooling applications.
MECHANICALLY BONDED
Extremely strong tube-to-header construction is combined with a thick-walled brass tube for maximum strength and reliability.
ADSEAL
ADSEAL is a flexible tube to header joining system that accommodates core expansion/contraction through temperature cycling and also absorbs vibration.Aluminium Cores
