| Post subject: | Radiator Advise |
Hi All, In keeping with the 'original' look, I would like some advise on what I should do about a radiator for my MK2 S. I have both an original radiator and a new minispares radiator. I was looking at having the top tank taken off the original and putting it onto the new so as I keep the original look but retain the upgraded core, but it seems that good radiator repairers are almost a think of the past...….well at least up here In Coffs Harbour anyways. Are the original radiators OK to use? and is there a good process to cleaning them out. Or can anybody advise a solution to this so as I retain the original looking radiator. Cheers Ian |

to clean out an old radiator top and bottom tanks need to come off and then the core is rodded. |

I had a UK 3 core so called Cooper radiator, it only had 8 fins/inch instead of 16 and was flimsy made. Didn't cool as well as the Oz made ones. Maybe they're better made now, I dunno. Their 2 core competition one is better. I use Blacktown radiators, he's old skool and knows his stuff. Much cheaper than the natra mob. |
