His S has a bespoke ali rad - very nice too. Have you tried YEL.com?

Just had a full aluminium one made up for my Ginetta by a company called Radtech - 01543 502525 which is excellent quality. Made in about a week from a drawing I supplied for £290+vat

I think pies means one with ally side tanks as well, not one of these modern affairs with the plastic tanks.
probably work better than the standard Range Rover one though.

Whatever is there aint good enough it was recored 3 yeas ago so im going for a modern replacement with extra cooling capacity,So when i go for some power upgrades i should be able to cope with any extra heat generated

I would impressed if that really was a proper alloy radiator. Most seem to cost around £300 that I've seen.

Just had one fabricated from scratch for the race car through PTS in Luton - very nicely done although they didn't quite get the measurements spot on

Have you thought about a copper core? Better emmissivity then aluminium. I've had them made at Nottingham.
