Radiator

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

Thx, James

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.
