Step 1 weigh radiator
Step 2 remove copper from aluminum fin
Step 3 weigh each item seperatly
Step 4 stand and wonder why you didn't just sell it whole .

Be carefull using a blade or cutting these . Wear gloves and cut away from yourself . I usually cut of the steel ends with a sawzaw and sell as aluminum/copper radiator . But I don't get a lot of these so do what works best for you .

Does anyone know what is the weight percent of Aluminum and Copper in Aluminum Copper Radiator?

**hobo finds** · 01-09-2015, 06:41 AM

60 / 40

You mean there is 60% Aluminum and 40% Copper in Clean Al/Cu Radiators ? or 60% Copper and 40% Aluminum ?

**hobo finds** · 01-09-2015, 08:43 AM

Yep 60% alu 40% cu do the math

Turn it in as is (cleaned of steel)

5 lbs as is clean of steel 5 lbs x $1.62 = $8.10

60% alu 3 lbs x $.54 lb = $1.62
40% cu 2 lbs x $2.30 lb = $4.60
Total $6.22

Do not sell them dirty with steel on them! It pays to remove the steel, but I feel not worth the further breakdown depending on price for clean cu/al raid in your area.
