I hoped you used the special heat transferring paint. There
used to be one that has something like small chaff in it which
was meant to improve heat transfer.<br>

I was recently quoted $450 to recore a Mk.1 MGB radiator. So it
has become rather costly. But if you are a stickler for the
original appearance, and want to insure a perfect fit, I think
that is how you would want to go.

<div class="">That said, I wound up with the Moss Motors premium
aluminum radiator, and it fit fine, and seems to work great. I
painted it black so it didn’t stand out as a foreign object, and
can’t be seen through the grill (this really bugs me when I see
it on other cars).</div>
