They are building a modified rad for me, I will report back on the quality and service once it's finished.

So far they are quick to respond to e-mails and the pics of their previous work looks good.

ive just had one delivered, workmanship is 1st class. Ill be fiting it tomorrow morning. I wanted the extra cooling and these guys have been great to deal with. They can also CNC anything you want from aluminium if they have something to copy.
Rad took just over a week from order to delivery.
Very pleased

They do look pretty good actually!

I've just decided I WILL drive to Corsica next year... so I'll need all the extra cooling I can muster... now firmly on my Christmas list with the GF! smile

I received my Radiator from Highflow last week funnily enough. I was going to post up on here about it.
Mine is a Cerbera but is essentially the same as the Chim one just different holes for the 5 blade fan as can be seen in the pic. I am going to send Marc the measurements so he can sort this. and if you have the upper F1 panel there are no fixing points but i don't think this is an issue.

Very pleased with the look of my Rad and communications with Marc he seems a really nice guy also.

Ally ones have been known to leak after a few years. Would be great to see how this stacks up in the TVR world.

Its all down to build quality i suppose, mainly the core. That looks like a crimp / pressed tank which is the same as a re-core type, wouldn't advise due to the flexibility in aluminium, if it is ally as it doesnt say.

Picked my 50mm core TVR Chimaera radiator up from Loughborough directly and was blown away by the quality of the finished product for the price paid.It really is a thing of beauty and if it performs as good as it looks i'll be really happy. Marc is a real nice guy who replied instantly to e mail enqs and was happy to talk and point out differences between my rad and a radtech one they had to replicate for another customer.My rubbish photos just dont do justice to the radiator.I cant give a definative review because i have just embarked on a full body off on my Chimaera so the rad wont be getting fitted for a while,but i'll report back when i do.
On the strength of the quality of my rad a mate with a very nice e type is approaching the company for one.
If anyone is local to J28 M1 area i'm happy to show you my rad before you place an order.

I took delivery of my shiny new High Flow radiator last week, as mentioned above Marc is a pleasure to deal with. A fair number of e-mail and telephone calls were exchanged to ensure the modifications to the original design were understood and implemented correctly.

Very happy with the end result

You have to pick your moment,when other half is at work is a good start! Also make sure what you are photographing is clean on the bottom.

I will probably order one of these next week, mines having its annual water leak (3 rads in 3 years), will see if this lasts any longer.
