I took my original 4 core to a radiator shop to repair a heater hose nipple I brok off it. The shop did that, rodded it and painted it for 80 bucks. The shop does mostly heavy equipment radiators so they have quite a lot of business. Didn't balk at my repair/refurbish request and my rad was in really good condition. YMMV
