I need to buy a new rad for my K-series ex academy 7, which is at roadsport spec at the moment.

Caterham have no rads in stock and don't know when they will have any.

Would this rad from Demon Tweeks do the job??

I need it sorted urgently as I am going away to Wales on 24th and don't want any issues. There is a small leak at the moment.

Looks like it should do the trick but personally I would go for a Radtec if I could as I think they are better made. Not sure how quickly they can get one to you though.

Radtec are a bit slow so I would not be able to get it done in time for my trip.

I spoke to Dave at DVA power and he stated that the direct replacement would be OK for road use, even for a car with more power.

I have ordered in from Demon Tweeks as they only have one is stock. Caterham told me that they have 40 on order which should have been delivered a few days ago so they have no idea when they will come!!

Thanks for this. I gave them a call and they have an all aluminium rad in stock at a very good price!! Cancelled the Demon Tweeks order.
