<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I've bought my share of cheap ones online, you get what you pay for I guess. The one I got for the Stag was cheap and had to be shimmed and a mounting hole moved over 1/4" to make it fit. The TR6 one was a more expensive/reputable vendor but still sprung a leak after about 5 years in a seam location that can't be fixed, so I'm about to replace it again. For the price of these things I've come to expect minor fitment issues and a limited life span. My best aftermarket radiator was a plastic tank cross flow for the Spitfire racercar, out of a Ford Escort. If there is a good brand of aluminum ones out there I'd like to know it. In the meantime I will keep buying cheap ones and consider it a consumable item.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Dusty Nicholson</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">1957 TR3 EP #43</div><div><br></div>
