Flathead Radiator

Well they say bad things come in threes so hopefully this is my last hiccup. Some of you that read my Frustration threads will be aware of my month long lifter problem as well as my carb problem.
Well I've managed to get a few miles on the mercury and I'm quite pleased with how it performs now after the two problems were taken care of. I've now got a problem with a leaking rad.
Supposedly it was fitted with a new core and all soldered up. Then it was pressure tested and was ready to go. ( Think I got the same story about my carb and engine.) I noticed some weeping on the front of the top tank so have removed it and replaced with another one that is supposed to be tested and ready to go. We'll know soon enough after I finish the installation.
Does anyone make a new guaranteed radiator for out flathead trucks ? Just in case I have to got with a new rad to cure my problem. Thanks for your replies,
