[TR] Aluminum radiator

[Dixie4]

Hi Andrew,

Extra cooling is an advantage. Three row will have extra capacity in reserve 
if and when needed.
Under normal use you will never know the difference as the thermostat 
controls the running temperature.
Aluminium/Aluminum radiators are more efficient and durable.

Go for it, three row that is, not forgetting a higher mix of 
antifreeze/anticorrosion additive. Possibly 50/50.
Aluminium/Aluminum does not like plain water although radiators are of an 
alloy so do not suffer from this problem as much as alloy engines. Belts and 
braces spring to mind.
