Even if you buy a new temporary unit (let's see one of those last 40+ years), do not scrap that radiator.
That, "It's cheaper to buy a new one than fix the old", mentality has taken a turn around the next bend. You toss out good repairable stuff to replace with inferior junk these days. The new thing is (to me), "If you can afford to fix it at all, you are better off than buying new...even if it costs more".

I buy radiators like Griffion or something aluminum large capacity and durable. I'm not sure what you assume when I say aftermarket is better however I just get 100% quality parts always.
Today I just bought commercial grade tire$ for my commercial grade rim$ Yea I never do it cheap I learned that doesn't work for me.
