Hi Ian,
Yes you are absolutely correct that later, they all had film radiators. However according to Wyatt and The Source Book, Austin manufactured radiators were not fitted until May 1929 which presumably was when they were starting to be made in-house, rather than as bought in components. The film of Austin radiator production is film type radiators.
Both The Source Book and Rinsey Mills state that early cars had tube radiators, so I am trying to find any other, preferably contemporary evidence, that this is correct and for how long, if it was the case.
The locally manufactured cores are indeed very good and reasonably priced, but may not be correct for early cars if the above 2 books are correct. Hence the search for more information.
