I put a Wizard aluminum radiator in my 100. Couldn't be happier. Works
great, customer service was great, (even though they sent me the wrong style
the first time) they made good and paid for all the shipping. I also added an
over flow tank and hooked the system so it is now a closed system. Again
works great.
I have no qualms about paying a bit more for something made in this
country as the workmanship is top notch and like I said, the customer service
was great. I highly recommend Wizard cooling. NFI, just satisfied. Plus my
car run much cooler now. So I'm a happy camper.
I also added a SS fan I got from British Car Specialists in Stockton,
California and that fan pulls some air! Great combination.

Looking for any experience with current offerings on ebay.
I just got back a few days ago from the Conclave in Waco. We had a
great time and met many nice folks. On our way home to Nebraska driving
in 95 plus temps, my 65 BJ8 started running hotter and hotter until we
had to pull into a service station and let it cool down. It boiled over
in the lot, so I had to replace some antifreeze solution too. It seemed
like, once the gauge got over 212 the temp rocketed well past the 230
upper limit on the gauge. I had a similar situation last year driving to
Wisconsin on a hot day.
So... I'm thinking of replacing the radiator with an aluminum one. I
put an aluminum rad. in my bugeye a few years back and never have a heat
problem. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the aluminum
radiators on ebay. One is a Worley for $355.00 w/ free shipping

and the other is a GPI racing at $350.00 w/ free shipping

Both made in China and look almost the same except the Worley fan guard
looks different. The GPI looks more like the original Healey rad. I've
also seen an American made one from Wizard Cooling for $499.00,
https://wizardcooling.com/1959-1968-austin-healey-3000-aluminum-radiator/
that looks very close to the GPI. The Worley and GPI do not look like
they have the overflow tube on the side of the filler neck like the Wizard.
Any thoughts or experience with any of these would be appreciated.
