About Copper Brass Radiator

Copper-brass radiators are the older style — a copper core with brass tanks — found in pre-1990s vehicles, trucks, industrial plant and generator sets. They are the highest-paying radiator grade because both metals in them are valuable.

Steel side frames and mounting brackets should come off where they are easy to remove. Plastic tanks mean it is not this grade — that is an aluminium-plastic radiator, which is a different item again.

Drain the coolant before you bring it. It is not a grading issue, but it is a spill risk in the back of a ute and on the yard floor.
