Alum if anything, it's cheaper, it's lighter, and is only slightly inferior to copper when it comes to heat conduction.

Yeah i thought it may have been aluminium due to how light it is. However, after inspecting it appears to be copper... the fins def are at least.

Thanks, all solved.

Just out of interest how did you come to the conclusion that the fins (at least...) are copper?

Mine certainly didn't look like copper..

My radiator fan bolts snapped and the fan went off balance and started grinding against the radiator.... it stripped the paint and all the fins are a copper color.

I just got another radiator and it looks aluminium to me though.... so im at a loss now....

I just wanted to know so i knew if i could silver solder or not. But damage was to bad to repair anyway.
