Full details are on the thread "Restoring a Top Hat" but the radiator on the 1926 Top Hat has suddenly developed a catastrophic leak from the core, 2/3 way up on the off-side.
The radiator was a 1980's recore using an "A Film" block, done by Marston Radiators and has never been used on the road.
Question is, what sort of new core would be suitable? A film or Honeycomb? Modern core with a Honeycomb front panel?
Does anyone have experience with radiator restoration companies, good or bad?
Given that this core has never been used in anger, might it be repairable?
