[TR] TR4A - Looking for radiator recommendations

Hi Guy,
I installed a Wizard aluminum radiator in my TR4A and it has a bung for a temperature switch. Back when I was restoring the car, I had  purchased a stainless steel down pipe from RevingtonTR that had a bung for a temperature switch so that is an option you might consider. I ended up just installing a plug in the radiator for the temperature switch and using the one in the down pipe as that is the coolant exiting the engine.
I have had the Wizard radiator for a couple of years and it is working great so far. I can send you pictures if you want.

I got it probably over 10 years ago, so I don’t recall where I got it, nor can I vouch for current offerings.  But I’ve been happy with it.
