Radiator Opel Vectra
 

Last week i did a quick visit to an automobile dismantelling compagny (Autosloopbedrijf in het ABN).
I asked him: "hey dude, do you got some copper heating ellements from old cars, because i got allreadyu a aluminum, but i want copper!"
Give me 2 minutes he told me.
After 2 minutes he came out wit this nice looking beauty and asked me:
Is it good for you if its from a Opel Vectra, because i asked him for an old Opel Kadett radiator.


close up:



I'm gonna try it out later this weekend, and compare it with my black ice pro radiator :o

I'm curious about his performance (the new one, not the black ice)

;)

Forgot to mention: he asked 10 € for it.

Everytime you get parts from junk yards on radiator or heatercore, ask for pressure leak test.:)

I know, but I allready did a test by myself.
My job has a lot to do with pressure ;)
I'm into the CH4 industry sector. ;)

my thought is he w'll beat that black ice;)

it looks like a damn nice radiator!

Update: Radiator after cleaning/polishing/customizing for H2o setup.
I put some 1/2"-15mm course piece on it (brass) wit some 15mm/45° copper curve, and a 1/2"-12mm, and another 1/2"-10mm Legris fitting.







and finaly, the leaktest:



I'm gonna try to build it in my case tommorow, for comparing with the Black Ice Pro


;)
