I still search out NOS, OE or made in USA parts, but sometime the only alternative is to buy what is available. And, good luck finding a radiator repair shop in most areas anymore.

But thanks for being a vendor on this site and providing us with alternate means to drive our vintage stuff!

That's usually not the case for our radiators. And you can't compare overseas $100 radiators to ours. Take a look at one at one of the shows we attend. Not all are created equal with junk materials. Trust me. There is no comparison.

If you'd rather search and pay for the NOS or Original stuff, by all means, go for it. Exactly what you said, we are just offering a reasonable option for those looking for replacements.
