22.01.2022 We are still waiting on formal confirmation but it appears RD's Custom Shop will be able to remain open when stage 4 restrictions come into affect in Melbourne tomorrow night at 11.59pm. This is because we are a supplier to essential services such as the mechanical & transport industries. We will be closing access to all retail pick ups from close of business Wednesday 4th Aug 2020. For alternative pick up arrangements please call or email us. Stay safe everyone, do the right thing & look out for each other.

22.01.2022 Hopefully how we all feel post Covid lockdown!

21.01.2022 An engine conversion normally requires improvements and or modifications to the radiator. This job was for an owner of HZ Holden who swapped a stock 253 Holden ...V8 for a worked 350 Chev. We fitted a high performance 57mm thick core and modified the inlet and outlet tanks to suit the Chev conversion. If you require a custom radiator please contact us to discuss your requirements See more

12.01.2022 Our test tank is just big enough for this large industrial Caterpillar radiator

11.01.2022 Engine swaps have been taking place for decades but this particular one really stands out. Mathews 2010 Nissan GU Patrol has been fitted with a Ford FG XR6 (Ba...rra) Turbo Engine and ZF auto gearbox! Tuned to 434HP, (324KW), and 642NM of torque at the tyres running 98 unleaded. The turbo is a Garrett GTX3582R ball bearing unit cooled by a custom built intercooler. There are lots of other goodies under the bonnet and the overall engine bay finish is super tidy. We supplied Mathew with a custom built copper brass radiator seen in the photos. We again used our trusted 3 row 16mm tube, close pitch core to deliver maximum cooling. Obviously the copper brass core is much stronger than any alloy unit and can be serviced and repaired if needed. We are the off-road cooling specialists so contact us with your requirements. 1300 903 715. Good luck Mathew with your adventures, we love your Patrol! #radiator #Patrolradiator #radiatormelbourne #ReCore #4WDradiator #NissanPatrol #customradiator

10.01.2022 Another classic radiator that we built today, this time for a Ford XB V8 Falcon. The customer was very keen to have a new radiator built rather than his old radiator recored. We were able to locate some brand new brass tanks and fitted these to a 3 row radiator core. A neat fit up was achieved with just the right amount of solder. Once tested the new radiator was again inspected before being painted in high gloss black.... Our customer was very pleased with the outcome and was looking forwards to installing it into his XB restoration. We have a wealth of knowledge on copper brass era radiators - so call us if you need to have a chat about a radiator for your restoration. 1300 903 715 See more

09.01.2022 We have a quite a few jobs on at the moment! A Kenworth re-core, a Kenworth clean out and a small generator radiator. RD's Custom Shop is still providing radiator repairs and servicing during these difficult times.... Please call 1300 903 715 - we want to help. Stay safe.

05.01.2022 Take a look at this awesome Ford XY Falcon! Here at Radiator Directs Custom Shop we have just completed a 3 row radiator recore for this classic. Interestingly most of the front end was based around the 6 cylinder model however a factory V8 Cleveland is under the hood and the car is all original. The radiator was recored with a 3 row radiator core to make sure this beast keeps its cool. We love our Aussie classics and love repairing and fixing the radiators that go in them.... Do you need someone to check out your radiator? Call the team at Radiator Direct 1300 903 715 #classicradiator #radiator #recore #radiatordirect #radiatormelbourne #rdcusustomshop #radiatordirectqld

04.01.2022 Moving, emotional, timely, these words don't seem enough to describe this beautiful performance of "I'll stand by you" by the Royal Melbourne Hospital Scrub Choir. Much thanks and love to our front line carers. Turn your speakers up and grab a box of tissues https://youtu.be/w1YtT0qLjDA
