The first choice for classic car radiators

Any era of car radiator can be reconditioned in our workshop :

• Veteran car radiators with honeycomb type cores
• Vintage car radiators with film blocks
• Classic car radiators upgraded with more efficient modern cores

All are restored to pristine condition and maximum efficiency.

Radiator Upgrades for Classic Cars

Since the 60’s many makes of classic cars have had problems overheating, particularly Jaguar, Aston Martin and Jensen. The main problem was the efficiency of the radiator and fan system, which can usually be remedied by replacing the radiator core with an upgraded one with more tubes and a higher fin pitch (and usually a completely different system of manufacture.)
Aaron Radiator replaced and upgraded the radiators on these models (sometimes when they were still new!) and still offer this upgrade service today with even higher efficiency modern cores than previously available.

Vintage, Veteran and Classic Car Fuel Tanks

If a car is left for a number of years without use (as many classic cars have been before restoration) the fuel tank could either rot (if left empty of fuel and allowed to get damp) or it could get filled with sediment if left containing slowly evaporating fuel for many years. The only way to cure these problems is to have the fuel tank professionally restored.

If the tank is leaking and rusty, it will need to be cut open, shot blasted and re-sealed. This will stop the rust reappearing though the tank should be filled with some fuel or else the rust will soon return.

If the tank is filled with sediment or debris it will need to be cut open between the baffles (as this is where the dirt will be trapped) and steamed out thoroughly before being patched back up.

Tanks that are of a riveted construction are prone to having the rivets loosen from the weight of fuel and old age, particularly with baffles coming loose inside the tank.

We are able to clean out or repair Aluminium fuel tanks as seen on many classic supercars and can also replace or even copy vintage fuel tanks - though we will need to see the tank first.
