onlinemetals.com has good copper.
They have pretty steep shipping prices.
It cost me $8 to get $10 of copper shipped!

A lot of people use JB weld to hold their stuff together. Also, why don't you just go to an autoparts store and buy a heatcore and save yourself s&h???? Crazy...

Someone mentioned once about a book that has all the different sizes of heatercores...any idea where to find this book? I'd like to fit all my stuff inside my PC60, but that aint gonna happen with the 89 camaro variety, I don't think...

i measured my old heatsink and its 2 1/8 x 2, not counting the cuts where the socket and clamp are. so what size copper piece should i get you think?

Most of the time it is best to just get a 2X2".
