Your brass radiater sounds in good condition.At least before you tore it apart.(I do this often to perfectly fine parts,too).One final check for soundness is the "fingernail test" .Take a fingernail and try to puncture from the outside. A find looking radiator can have salt caused corosion.So bad,that you can push a fingernail right through the little tube.Try several places.Particulairly, up top.The sale dosent wash off ,up there.Roger |
