    Bubba can I ask how this thread was closed the first time?

    You seem to want to sound experienced yet ask very basic questions, perhaps you should post an introduction in the intro section so folks can get a handle on who you are first then more people will be apt to answer and help you.

    Yes the starter is wound with copper and radiators are most often made of copper core..........

    First, i have no clue why it was closed! He sent me a message saying it was unknown, but its all good now haha
    I have been dealing with vehicles for couple years now, buying, fixing selling, so i know my fair share. I never really cared what was inside my parts, starters and such, so i never really got into it, but now that im looking to get into scrapping i want to know to get some extra cash! I know there is often copper in radiators but arent they only in the older vehicles? And how do i get the copper out of them? :/ thanks again
