[TR] TR3 Radiator Choices

[KingsCreekTrees at aol.com]

Hi Chip;
 
Basically: "Wot Randall Said". However, make sure the good radiator shop  
gives a quote first. I asked for a re-core with a thicker core for added  
cooling, reinforcing the filler neck, no starting handle hole and also  
lengthening the bottom hose connection, as I found the hose slips off  
occasionally. The quote was CAN$600 (usually about a dime US--just kidding), but  final 
cost with our ridiculous taxes was $758. For that money, I might've been  
tempted by the aluminium rad. However, it works great. Too great, in fact, as  
the sodding thing won't warm up! Still, no longer overheating, especially 
with  the TR6 fan conversion kit (which I prefer over the electric setup, 
just a  personal thing) and British Parts Northwest upgraded water pump 
(fantastic  mod!!).
 
That's it. Rad shop, see what they can do.
