    One great feature of copper radiators is that they can be repaired in the bush with a blow torch and soldering iron.

    On the site selling the copper core radiators it says you must also buy a resistor - I guess this takes care of the potential electrolysis problems? Does that then make it compatible with OAT?

    (and no I'm not interested in the Oat vs Green glycol debate - I've made my decision....).
    Thanks
