<div dir="auto">Hi Michael. In 2013 I bought a Wizard aluminum radiator for my 1275 Bugeye. When it arrived the shroud did not fit. I then interacted with Scott Attig and Tom Dahmer of Wizard. I then sent Tom measurements of modifications that were needed. He then sent me their modified drawing and 3D model for my review before going into production. The revised shroud worked perfectly. Tom also worked with me when the pet cock wouldn’t seal properly. I believe I must have been the first Bugeye customer for them. </div><div dir="auto">I sure couldn’t have done this with some overseas manufacturers. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">It was pricy, $499.00 back then, but has worked great I am a satisfied customer.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">While I was at it, I installed an electric cooling fan with a thermostat. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">John F</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Apr 26, 2021 at 12:35 PM Michael MacLean via Spridgets <<a href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"> My Bugeye has been running hot in any ambient temperature over 80 degrees lately. I have the original radiator that was re-cored with an OEM type core almost 25 years ago. I have been leaning towards getting an aluminum radiator. Moss sells a two row aluminum radiator for $300. You can get a Chinese made Bugeye type radiator on Fleabay for $165 with free shipping. Nevermind the fact Moss charges a $10 oversize fee on top of a shipping charge of $27 and then of course California has to get their cut ($24). It adds up. <div dir="auto"> A call to Moss just now was not all that helpful. I was told that all they know is their aluminum radiator comes from Moss Europe. Other than that, they have no idea country of manufacture. Since both radiators are just about the same in construction and core size I am not sure what to do here. With Frank's words on Chinese made crap echoing in my head might I be better off getting my original radiator re-cored with an up to date core that will have more cooling fin area? Do the aluminum radiators make that much difference?</div><div dir="auto">Mike MacLean</div></div>
