[Fot] Aluminium radiators

[Scott Janzen]

I got a custom radiator for the GT6 from Wizard a few months ago, and it is really beautiful craftsmanship.  I had them duplicate the dimensions of one I got twelve years ago from an outfit that went out of business.  They copied it perfectly. About a 6-8 week leadtime, maybe less if you are getting off-the-shelf.

I will say that I’d had the prior one repaired a few times - they can be welded or sealed depending on where the damage is.  The last time I did some serious damage to it, so it was truly irreparable.

Much, much lighter than stock, too.

There are a bunch of answers here, but a lot of TR6 crowd buys them from Wizard Radiator (www.wizardcooling.com)

There's a guy on the Triumphs list - Art Lipp - that sells the Wizards at a discount.

My one concern about aluminium radiators is that most of the time you can't fix them, so if you crack them, it's in the bin for 'em. Copper / brass is more forgiving. Ally does have the "wow" factor, though.

Wise(ned) ones,

Where are folks getting (street) Al radiators nowadays? Just got the original TR6 rad back from the local radiator shop with an estimate of ~$360 to re-core, re-cap the lower end, and get rid of all the acorns the squirrels have thoughtfully stashed in mine, so I figure it's probably cheaper to get a new Al one than press my luck with the original. 

I found 3 row versions for a bit under $200, but they don't seem to know much about Triumphs (the pictures have the inlet/outlet pointing in the wrong directions) so I figured I'd check here...

Stay fast!
Bob
