$250 or less Aluminum Replacement Radiator

**Dzone** · 05-14-2003, 12:25 AM

well I need one soon cause mine is also leaking slowly in the front
a friend showed me where the pin holes were, I guess like Phils at the top.
I could easly get one from the wrecker but have no idea how much it would cost and installation, if its too much then it makes sence to get new one.

Do what Don did to my stock pinholed radiator before leaving WA to head back to AZ.... wire wheel, sandpaper and JB weld the hole. Some black paint and it looked and worked well.. Hope this holds you over till the Jim King aluminum radiator is available... If you need one now, and the stock one works ok in your climate, try radiators.com (TX) for the CSF brand.. I think this is in Jim's car now... Jay B.. powered and cooled by Don C and Sean P's surgical knowledge..

Jim,
Will this be a one time buy or will they be avail in the future also?

How well does aluminum hold up over time compared to a stock copper one? Just curious, and yes, I'm interested! 8)

I suspect these aluminum rads will last longer as they are welded.

Naturally, the key for longevity is changing the antifreeze once a year.

I think the buy-one price should be at $250. I'm hoping for a group discount.

Jim seeing that i couldn't find a way to fit my 4 core Griffin Aluminum in my mk2...I'll probably go for this too.

I should be getting some pictures this weekend.

Is this radiator going to have a provision for a temp sensor to be installed? If not could it? Thanks Bill

**MikeD** · 05-20-2003, 12:44 PM

Will this rad have drain valve?

**Brian** · 05-20-2003, 06:00 PM

Whats the lead time on these? I'm in NEED of one BADLY.... I can get a stock one for 135.00 but I would spend the extra cash if its in the not-so-distant future.
hanks,
Brian
