[Healeys] Aluminum Radiators available

[ATIGHTPROD at aol.com]

I put a Wizard aluminum radiator in my 100. Couldn't be happier. Works  
great, customer service was great, (even though they sent me the wrong style 
the  first time) they made good and paid for all the shipping. I also added an 
over  flow tank and hooked the system so it is now a closed system. Again 
works  great.
    I have no qualms about paying a bit more for  something made in this 
country as the workmanship is top notch and like I said,  the customer service 
was great. I highly recommend Wizard cooling. NFI, just  satisfied. Plus my 
car run much cooler now. So I'm a happy camper.
    I also added a SS fan I got from British Car  Specialists in Stockton, 
California and that fan pulls some air! Great  combination.

Looking  for any experience with current offerings on ebay.

I just got back a  few days ago from the Conclave in Waco.  We had a 
great time and met  many nice folks.  On our way home to Nebraska driving 
in 95 plus  temps, my 65 BJ8 started running hotter and hotter until we 
had to pull  into a service station and let it cool down.  It boiled over 
in the  lot, so I had to replace some antifreeze solution too.  It seemed  
like, once the gauge got over 212 the temp rocketed well past the 230  
upper limit on the gauge. I had a similar situation last year driving to  
Wisconsin on a hot day.

So... I'm thinking of replacing the  radiator with an aluminum one.  I 
put an aluminum rad. in my bugeye a  few years back and never have a heat 
problem.  I'm wondering if  anyone has any experience with the aluminum 
radiators on ebay.  One  is a Worley for $355.00 w/ free shipping

and  the other is a GPI racing at $350.00 w/ free shipping

Both made in China and look almost the same except the Worley fan  guard 
looks different.  The GPI looks more like the original Healey  rad.  I've 
also seen an American made one from Wizard Cooling for  $499.00,  
https://wizardcooling.com/1959-1968-austin-healey-3000-aluminum-radiator/  
that looks very close to the GPI.  The Worley and GPI do not look  like 
they have the overflow tube on the side of the filler neck like the  Wizard.

Any thoughts or experience with any of these would be  appreciated.
