Any leads on a good Rad shop? I want to get my rad attended to this Spring.
Maybe they are all the same?

I've had good experience with Richardsons' Radiator on 196 St in Langley ( Near Willowbrook ). I took my rad from the '40 in there for refurbishment. They flushed, pressure tested, and repainted for about $ 50. as I recall. They do a lot of heavy truck stuff there as well - seem like good guys. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,997 Big Bolt Forum Co-moderator | | Big Bolt Forum Co-moderator Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,997 | I can second the Richardson's radiator. I have mine re-cored there. It needed it.

I'll try Richardson's with the two star review.
Thanks Dave but Richmond is like another planet for a guy from the valley.

Great sevice and guys.
It appears my over heating was due to a mouse nest inside the rad. Must have been built when the previous owner had the motor out for rebuild.
Good to go for this summer.
