Radiator repairers

[Nick Turley]

Has anyone had experience of either Aaron Radiators Ltd. in South East London (Croydon) OR Vintage Wings & Radiators Ltd. in Manchester.

Both are listed in the Red Book Directory so presumably someone has used these firms.

Looking for a re-core of the radiator on a like-for-like of the honeycomb core to my 1930 Swallow, both have priced, one is more expensive than the other, but the overall cost for both is high - it is quite an involved process for the core fabrication, it would be a lot cheaper to go with a modern replacement, but that is hardly the point.

So looking to hear from anyone that has used either of these firms for recommendation or otherwise, thanks in advance!

As said by Mr Dunford -  Tony Wilder is good and did my Swallow. Just checking with you, the 1930 Swallow core is not honeycomb - should be Z pattern. The false pieces in the cowl are of course honeycomb.

Thanks for the replies everyone, Nick - here is my radiator core - this is very similar to dummy honeycomb on the cowling itself, do you think this is wrong?

Without doubt - Z pattern is the one you need.
