What is the world coming to when a placcy radiator is needed to retain originality? And an aluminium one rejected in preference of plastic?

Actually they could not make the aluminium one offered and it was going to cost £500 so I am still waiting for the original one already bought and stuck somewhere with DHL.
It is a Classic car and if I want to keep it original surely that is my choice.

I would check out repair possibilities, back in the 70's I hit a gatepost - rad fan hit radiator, detaching both sidesaddle tanks.
I thought ££££ - a mate took me to radiator repair shop in Bristol, three days later we picked up the rad - it looked like new, pressure tested etc and performed as such for the next 2 years of ownership.
So - original rad apart from some solder and a fair bit of skill- and with only two capillary pipes 'squeezed' off - I did those in a previous tiny leak occurrence.
Cost less than a Friday night out back then !

I suspect this radiator is the plastic tanked and crimped core variety which means that a repair is somewhat more specialised.....but possible.

We hope this problem gets resolved very soon, James - I've found that imports from the States are averaging 3 weeks just now.

As you are all so very interested would you like a pic of the radiator if I can manage it?

Definitely! Always interested!
If you can manage to post a pic then that's definitely one up on me so I can bow to superior knowledge!
