Default Adrad Radiators

Hey guys.

I've just purchased my second Adrad copper/brass radiator and I've noticed that the box says that it's made in Indonesia. Comparing the old radiator to the new, they look almost identical, but the old radiator has Adrad stamped on the side tank while the new one has no Adrad markings at all. I was under the impression that all Adrad radiators were made in Australia, but after having a look at their webiste it seems that only aluminium and custom radiators are made here and the copper/brass are sourced from overseas.

My question is, are the copper/brass Adrad radiators really worth the extra money if they are sourced from another manufacturer as you would probably be able to find the same radiator for cheaper under a different brand name.

Default Re: Adrad Radiators

As long as quality control isnt an issue what would be the difference?

Bosch get their alternators made in China.
