I have been using a Griffin aluminum radiator for over 8 years now. Also, n=
icely made and good fit in my TR3. I ordered it with a shroud and puller fa=
n. $700 total. Radiator only, $500.=20
They will build custom. I ordered mine without the problematic or crack pron=
e factory style extended filler neck. I fill it from an expansion tank.=20
