[Mgs] mga radiator

[David Breneman]

With what I paid, $100 was a rounding error (and he ended up doinga lot of work for free, because it was a fixed-price job and he's aperfectionist).  But it's not the first time I'd heard of this problemwith new radiators.  A lot of people complain about cooling issues 
with their MGAs.  I've never had a problem, even with weather in 
the 80s.  And if it's hotter than that, I overheat long before thecar would.

 Hmmm.  With my cynical hat on I'd say that could be a way of spending $400 
rather than $300.
