i just order mine from Karcraft in sydney

cheapest around for mini parts i believe and postage is great next day and reasonable price postage

think the site is www.karcraft.com.au

You mean really new, or just a replacement? If (2) then I've got about 4 spares that are cheap.

I bought 2 from Karcraft. The UK 3 core is a bit marginal, go the 2 core if buying new...

Next time, I'll get an Oz one recored.

I had mine rebuilt at Western Radiators in Spine St Sumner Park. Not cheap - $380 but supposed to have the latest you bute core material and 13 fins per inch

Depends on the originality you want as I THINK that the tops of the newer UK radiators are different to the Aussie ones that were fitted. (I could be wrong)

Yeah the tops of the new ones are slightly different, but if its not originality you want go for a new one, I picked up the 2 core from Mini sports and am very happy with it.

I'm getting a 'super cool' 2 core one soon, they are far superior, as my dad say "only the best for your car." I agree, cya dodgy 3 core. Hello 2 core, Karcraft are the cheapest so far, Minisports website had them at a good price but at the shop they were a fair bit more, might do a minisport order.

No offence intended here but--> anyone writing a book about minis 30 years ago may not have experienced such worn or stuffed-with components as we are finding these days.

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Thanks for the help, The Enoggera place could be worth checking out due to locality but I've PM'd those members who have them for sale. Thanks again.

I can also recommed Enoggera Radiators, quality work and they shouldn't stuff you around like so many other automotive repairers.
