Sorry you have to deal with this. I know they froze, but how did the radiators fail? Every one I've seen has threaded rod holding multiple cast iron segments tightly together. I'd imagine that when the water in one freezes and the ice expands, the damage might just be confined to one or two segments, and then the pressure would be relieved in the rest. But that's just a guess. Can they be repaired by just removing broken segments and making them a little shorter?
