[TR] TR3A radiator re-core

[60TR3A]

Many years ago when we bought an 80 MG Midget with a gimpy started for  
our son to drive to high school when he had soccer practice.  He was  
worried about what would happen if the starter failed.  I told him not  
to worry he would have to fight the people away if he needed a push  
start.  He doubted me until the first time it would not start & he had  
6 guys pushing him!  Besides at the time we lived in Pittsburgh where  
it is really hard not to park on a hill!!!  :-)
