[TR] TR4A Radiator

[KingsCreekTrees at aol.com]

Hi Pat;
 
Is your radiator in such bad condition that it cannot be 're-cored'? I  
would recommend that route if possible. If your car is fitted with a starting  
handle, and therefore a hole in the radiator, have the radiator recored 
without  the hole; you'll get lots more cooling capacity. I have a TR3A, so I 
don't know  what year of TR4 had the starting handle hole, if any.
 
I don't know of any sources to buy a radiator, assuming they are  
unavailable from Moss, etc., but one option might be to buy a used one  and have it 
recored.
 
I have heard great things about the aluminium radiators, however, I  
understand that frequent coolant changes/flushes are critical to any kind of  
longevity from them.
