[TR] aluminum radiators

[Roger Wilson]

Replace a radiator with a crank hole in my TR3 with an aluminum one w/o the
hole about 2 years ago. I think it stays cooler in the summer, especially in
traffic, probably more due to better flow w/o the crank hole.

No but it does transfer heat better than brass.  Maybe one should be looking
for a sliver radiator.

I got my aluminum radiator about 2-1/2 years ago off ebay and it does help
my 3 stay cooler in hot weather.
