Heater Core Aluminum or Brass/Copper?

mechsiah · 08-15-2004, 07:49 PM

Well, I found the perfect core for my never-ending project. Unfortunately, I cannot find it in stock anywhere, so I am forced to order it. No one can tell me if it is aluminum or brass/copper- so I bring it before you learned H2O geeks...

Here it is from the database:
2-308 71-77 Plymouth PLYMOUTH VAN - B SERIES
2-308 71-77 Dodge Truck DODGE VAN - B SERIES

Transpro #399126

Here is a link to the sketch:

I have contacted several vendors- but they all order it from Transpro. My two phone calls and one email have received no response from Transpro (grumble, grumble).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mechsiah

That is about the least descriptive Jpeg that I have EVER seen.

Looks like a copper/brass design to me. Cant be sure tho

Copper brass. At least every single core that design I've seen is. The tanks on top are a give away.

Really. Then I stand corrected. How do Al cores differ?

That picture better describes it. Its brass/copper. I had one awhile ago, but my project went to hell so I sold it to a friend. 4x120mm fans =

I've only seen a few aluminium cores, and all where European. They lacked sloped the tanks on top and looked a little like an AC condensor rather then the American style heatercore we're all so used to. YMMV of course.
