Doug,
Tomorrow, I am supposed to pick up my Mk1 radiator from a local shop who is
installing a new core. The price is $195 plus tax. I
should have the equivalent of a new one for about $75 less than vickie brit
charges. ANd no ridiculous shipping charges. Any
competent radiator shop can repair your radiator. The unit is not different
from any normal period radiator.
Regards,
Joe
