Guy in our club just got one for his AH sprite - neat piece of work.  Can't
beat the price.

the cost of recoring my old one.  Does anyone have experience with these

I bought an aluminum radiator (from Griffin Radiator in Piedmont SC) for the
TVR.  It was expensive, and it works better than stock.  I'd say you'd take
a big chance buying something advertised as aluminum for near the same price
as a recore.  Aluminum, by the way, doesn't transfer heat as well as copper,
so unless you go bigger/thicker, you save nothing but a little weight.
