<font size="-1"><font face="Arial">I had to get a new radiator for
my 1957 Aston but prices were ridiculous. Like anything Aston it
was both complex and well engineered. But standard it was
not. I just hung on and one day found a radiator company that
had made one but the customer reneged. So they sold it to me at
bargain basement price. Morale of this story is "look and ye
shall find". I got my MGB GT V8 made to my specs by Howe
Racing and it was not vastly expensive. I seem to remember it
was more than bog standard but not by much. It is penny wise
pound foolish and getting a <i>good</i> radiator is sanguinary
important.<br>

<blockquote type="cite">When I got my MGA restored, the mechanic
recommended rebuilding the

original radiator rather then buying a replacement, because the
new ones
<br>
have fewer "tubes" (whatever the actual term is in
radiator-speak) in them
<br>
than the originals, so there is less surface area for cooling. </blockquote>
