Dewitts Reproduction Aluminum Radiators
DeWitts Reproductions is licensed
by General Motors to reproduce the original “plate type” Corvette
aluminum radiators used from 1960 through 1972. Unlike other
tube designs, the stacked plate forms one single
tube the entire depth of the core. As a result, 100% of the tube
is in contact with the fin area, providing the maximum possible
heat transfer.
Each radiator is brazed together in a process called “Controlled
Atmosphere Brazing”, or CAB for short. This process allows
us to manufacturer a radiator much stronger and without introducing
the corrosive salt as was done originally. We have also incorporated
the new “serpentine” fin into each core.
This fin technology involves special louvers cut into the
fin to create an airflow pattern through the core that maximizes
the cooling efficiency. We are so confident in the finished
product, we guarantee them to run at least 20 degrees cooler
than any brass/copper replacement and back them with a five-year
warranty!
Unfortunately, these radiators are not available for every
Corvette model. They are only intended for the cars that originally
came with aluminum radiators. The following is a list of the
applications that are available:
