Thread: Help with Radiator

Hi
Any good radiator place can re core your old one for a price
I have a couple of spare ones
would cost a packet to get one to W.A.
cheers

Hi Ian
thats a bit misleading actually because now located on Central Coast NSW ! Just been looking for the option to change those details....,

The first radiator guy I found said new one was probably the only option....but I guess thats typical

As it will be close to the last thing to re-fit no rush I guess, nevertheless what are you chasing for yours ? If you've got a fuel tank floating around also ? Mine has more holes than the radiator !

cheers

Are the holes in your fuel tank on the side pressings or the wrap around part? If the wrap around part, re-skin it.

A few issues.

Firstly the original series 1 radiators can be directly replaced by SIII 6 cylinder ones although the top tank are different shapes and the size of the outlets are different.

The S1 top tanks are also a slightly different shape to the SII tanks but both are the same rectangular overall shape.

Series one radiators were made from brass tanks with copper cores and should be repairable but since the "War of terror" the price of brass and copper has gone through the roof because of the ammunition shell casings being made.

You can have the core replaced by an aluminium core, it won't last as long but is more efficient.

You can also still get honeycomb design copper cores like OEM but they are expensive. A place in Gladesville Sydney was doing them.

Hi Aaron - unfortunately not...holes the size of your thumb in the base...spoken to a fabricator but big $ as he wants to replace the base of tank and support mount as well....still considering options but thanks
