[TR] aluminum radiators

[KingsCreekTrees at aol.com]

I'm changing the topic a bit here, but I had my original radiator re-cored  
with a thicker core and no crank hole, only because I fitted a 
gear-reduction  starter motor and thought the new starter would be reliable enough that 
I would  not need the hole in the radiator. 
 
I always kept the cooling system well-flushed and full of fresh coolant.  
The engine now runs much cooler, but I have also incorporated a high-output  
water pump from TRF, which is a brilliant product in my opinion. 
 
My understanding is that aluminium radiators not only cool better but last  
much longer. I am delighted with the cooling aspects of my re-cored  
non-aluminium radiator and I am hoping that, with the mileages and care that our  
vehicles are subjected to, an aluminium one may not be necessary.
