Custom radiator recore
3-row and 4-row brass/copper assemblies pressure-tested to 15 psi, hand-finished and stamped with our 3-year warranty.
Slacks Creek Radiator pairs three decades of master-trade workmanship with modern thermal diagnostics — rebuilding cooling systems for utes, 4WDs, performance Euros and heavy plant across South-East Queensland.
Every job that crosses the workshop floor is treated as an engineering subject. The radiator, the hoses, the cap, the expansion tank — each measured, each documented, each photographed. The drawing on the right is alive: coolant flows from the inlet, through the core, out the bottom.
