<div dir="ltr">I switched from a Wizard Cooling aluminum radiator back to a recored, no-crank-hole original brass/copper one as part of resolving the persistent overheating issues on my car when it came back on the road. I was never convinced the Wizard had the right flow rates and the tanks seemed to be smaller. Maybe the fact that the first one from Wizard had the top tank hose outlet in the wrong position biased me against it. The finish is quite nice, if you're into that kind of thing. (smile)<div><br></div><div>I'm quite happy to have the recored original (through the assistance of Mark Macy). If someone's really eager to move to a Wizard aluminum TR2-3B radiator, lemme know via pm. I'll make ya a good deal on one with only a little use.</div><div><br></div><div>Don</div><div>St. Louis MO</div><div>1962 TR3B TSF202L</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 19, 2015 at 5:19 PM, David Templeton <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:davidt@opentext.com" target="_blank">davidt@opentext.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">During the summer I had to move my ‘3a and in the process the bottom of the radiator got punctured. Depressing sight….. It is the original one, even with the crank hole in the middle. It also has a leak around where the neck attaches
to the top tank from before but that was patched. I am wondering on what to do and looking for experience feedback:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p><u></u><span>1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><u></u>Try and get it repaired? Given it is original, how much real life is there?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p><u></u><span>2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><u></u>Buy a new replacement from one of the big three? What is the fit and finish been like?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p><u></u><span>3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><u></u>See if someone has a spare to sell and ship to Southern Ontario? What shape and do I run risk of failing first week after install?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p><u></u><span>4.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><u></u>Buy an aftermarket ‘racing’ one? Look horrid <span style="font-family:Wingdings">
J</span> but what is the fit and finish like?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p><u></u><span>5.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
