I had found this link from Dave Lindemann and wondered if these aluminum radiators are still being made?

They couldn't be found recently but they seem to be available again:

I did see those on ebay but I'm wondering if the quality is comparable to the original group buy from Mac's?

I didn't see the ones from Mac's and even if I did, I'm not sure I would have the ability to judge any difference in quality. I have one of the Chinese radiators and it seems to be a quality unit. In the year or so I've had it, I haven't had any problems with it. It fits the car well and the fan mounting hardware ALMOST fit the fan I chose (of course, an eighth inch off might just as well be a foot, the fix would be the same :P). This is the fan I chose: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0038ZG0DK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
I know of several people who've gotten them and I've haven't heard any complaints.

Thanks for that info... I did email Mac's to see if they're still making them. I'll wait and see what the cost difference is, between the two.

Unfortunately, I found out after I posted that the vendor on ebay doesn't have any stock. When I looked a few weeks ago, I dont' think there was any ebay listing for it so maybe they did sell some recently. It might be worth sending him a message.
