Curt is 100% on the money there, but I was not aware of the other company.

As to Brassworks, they can get you a close honeycomb, but no 100% cigar on core design - though the chance of having someone there before you though is better than not and they do keep records of how to do things.

There are two radiator suppliers in the UK and one in Australia. Auburn rad cores are unique to Auburn and were not used in any other cars.

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

Worth a try, as building one from scratch is still probably reinventing the wheel as others befor you have had the same problem and ... - only problem will be the pain of prying open your wallet.

Dear John,

Thank you for the references.

I will contact Brassworkes and Corex Honeycombs.

Best wishes.

Perhaps just have Brassworks make you a radiator - the core may have some thickness differences, but the grill shells are the same, so that tanks are probably adaptable from an 8.

Hi Fellow Members,
I am a member of the ACD Club (#2512) and live in Delhi, India.
I own a 1932 Auburn 12-160 Custom Phaeton Sedan. The car is near completion but unfortunately did not come with the original radiator.

I now need to build a new radiator for my 1932 Auburn 12-160 and am looking to source the correct patterns for the top and bottom tanks, side plates, core and all fittings. I would greatly appreciate any assistance with the correct size, dimensions and drawings for the top and bottom tanks, side profiles, fittings and of the radiator core.

I could buy a used 1932 Auburn 12 radiator for pattern and dimensions, if available.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Diljeet Titus
