Re: copper rads bad choice?


 

OEM Vanagon rad is aluminium - no problem!

Pondering on the cooling system for my conversion, it occurs to me that
there's the potential problem of dissimilar metals with the aluminum heads
and copper rad. I know that the coolant is designed to minimise this, but I
see that the OEM suby rad is aluminum, presumably to reduce this kind of
corrosion. Has anyone ever replaced their stock vanagon rad with an
aluminum one because of this?
