    Default Brass radiator VS Aluminium Radiator

    Hey everyone,, just curious on wat u guys rekon is a better radiator... the brass or aluminium...

    ive put in a brass radiator recently, but still got my aluminium one sittin at home, n the only reason i thought the brass would be better is because its easier to be repaired cause it can take the heat of welding, and cause brass is obviously stronger then aluminium...

    just wanted to get all of your ideas and thoughts on this topic...

    Brass radiators cost more to produce which is why aluminium radiators are in all new cars. With a brass radiator the coolant is not as critical and brass can be reapaired more easily though aluminium radiators are so cheap it is easier to replace than repair.
