I am looking for some contacts for a new lower radiator for when i get round to fitting throttle bodies to the cup car.

I have spoken to RADTEC in Cannock and they quoted around 360 plus vat?

Anyone advise?

Evo,
There is a company near me "WALKERS" radiators.They have made me two for £185 plus vat EACH !!! ~~ however they are NOT alloy :oops: :cry: ~~ the theory being ~~ for use on the rally car :lol: :lol: as and when we catch the guy in front :twisted: :evil: ,and we get there debris thrown into the matrix,should it become damaged,he can replace the /repair the matrix a lot easier than the alloy ones ~~ we just suffer a weight penalty :oops: :oops: .
They are approx twice the normal width,locate on the standard rubber mounts,but need two brackets making to hold it to the front panel,hold the same amount of water etc.
He can add mountings for the standard or aftermarket fans ~~ he can supply these also.

telephone number :~ 01282 843155

I went to RadTec but I didn't pay anywhere near that price for my twin 32 core for the 19 but I asked for a cash price. Give it a go, they may still be able to do that.

I can't say a bad word about them... well, I did once as the weld around the temp sensor boss failed on the way to Newquay but they took the rad out, whipped off the old one and put a new one on without batting an eye lid. My 19 wasn't mapped at the time though so I had to make and fit the rad mounts myself as they needed the car to do this for me.
