With regards to long term stowage, I wonder if I blew a hot air gun through till it got up to ridiculous degrees celsius, and then capped the inlet and outlet as they came from the factory.....that would dry the inside out and hermetically seal it?? That should be enough yeah??

A email I just received after purchasing one.
Oh well, at least I managed to get it at a cheaper price.

Dear buyer,

First thank you for purchasing our ALUMINUM RADIATOR AUSTIN / ROVER MINI
1967-1991. But we are very sorry to say that we sold out all the stock mini
radiator,and the next batch will come in 20-25days.

Could you wait some days more for the mini radiator? If you accept this,
we will keep one set mini radiator for you; If not, dont worry, we will refund
the money to you.

Please let me know how do you want us to proceed.

Regards
Nuts.motorsport

The quick and the dead :lol:

Mick, I wouldn't bother with hot air approach. I don't think these have been washed post manufacture. Mine still has oil on/in it.

Great idea. Make 100 and sell them to get good feedback and then quickly sell another 1000 without actually making any. :lol:

From Ebay

Re: not having the product but I've paid for it.

"I would also like to reassure you that we will be investigating this
seller. We may then take any necessary actions based on the outcome of
the investigation"

geez I wish this thread had a better heading for all to know.

An ETA of Sept 1 has been given by the seller for the next batch arrival. So 2 weeks wait.

Havn't got mine... hasn't been a whole week yet though. Wonder if I got in before he ran out? No word from the seller.

Be a little wary of bulk order as if it goes above $1000 it will attract duty and GST added to the price so make sure that any discount covers these add ons
