[colinrx7surrey]

I know this post is probably in the wrong section,so i apologise for that-but im in desperate need of a new/recon radiator for my fc-if any ones got one from a car there scrapping or selling for parts could they let me know-many thanks col!!! or is it better just to buy a brand new one??any help would be appreciated cheers

[samfc3s]

is better to just buy a brand new one i think as old one tends to leak a lot.......there are few radiators alway on ebay if u check it out...hope it helps

[colinrx7surrey]

[colinrx7surrey]

i went haves on a TII just for a rad - it worked out cheaper !! LOL

but i know what you mean , the prob is , rad splits , car runs hot , engine goes pop

you do the maths

[kev-yorks]

any chance of a pic and sizes i,ve got a rad in the lockup but not sure if it came out of a fb or fc. That many bits squat away now i\'ve lost track what\'s come of what.

why dont you get one of those fancy aluminuim radiators. you may as well replace every part that gets worn out with a performance one.

YES! I have a good TII rad going spare, I\'ve just upgraded mine to a Fluidyne. The one I have was a good condition recon unit I bought last year. email me as I\'m in Reading and quite near you markparmstrong@hotmail.com. If you want it, I\'ll have to collect it from Tim @ RX Motors as it\'s with the car at the moment!

wouldnt bother mate, if it ends up splittling big time you wont notice, well untill its too late anyway.

I tried Radweld when mine went (why I got the one that\'s up for sale!) doesn\'t seal the split at all, I used that weird metal/resin stuff too (like a metallic epoxy resin) held for about an hour! In the end I figure I spent about £15 on repair efforts which did bu99er all. :eek  :Grrr
