The radiatprs are c 1968-70. Assuming that electrolytic action has
hollowed them out and that they may need replacing, are the copper pipes
likely to be equally affected?



My system is late 70s. Rads still fine - but then I'm paranoid about
keeping inhibitor up to date.

But would be very surprised if the copper needed replacing regardless of
inhibitor or not.
