I had to get a new radiator for my 1957 Aston but prices were
ridiculous. Like anything Aston it was both complex and well
engineered.  But standard it was not. I just hung on and one day found
a radiator company that had made one but the customer reneged. So they
sold it to me at bargain basement price. Morale of this story is "look
and ye shall find".  I got my MGB GT V8 made to my specs by Howe Racing
and it was not vastly expensive. I seem to remember it was more than
bog standard but not by much.  It is penny wise pound foolish and
getting a /good/ radiator is sanguinary important.
