Taimar / 3000 s radiator

[Christian3000s]

Need a new rad for my 3000 s, would consider an aluminium uprated unit. Anyone have clues to find out the professionnal to get in touch with (one who already have the patterns or dimensions to build one).

Be cheaper to be re-cored. mine cost £160 + vat or there abouts..

ebay has one for £400+

[Christian3000s]

yes, but a retarded mechanic have considered better way to drop my rad and buy a Capri unit... That doesn't fit, of course! so the recoring solutions is no more a solution for me...

Is this an upright radiator car or crossflow radiator car?
IMHO the re-core route would be easiest (alloy radiators are expensive and non repairable so I would ignore that idea) with the crossflow, note that if you put a fancy staggered core in then it will radiate to it's self and never cool properly, and changing the otter switch to a silver soldered threaded boss for a screw in switch is a must.
For the upright radiator cars adding a 3rd row is a must (it means you will need to mount this 3rd row forward of the tanks and pack the brackets with a washer so the fan does not hit the radiator).

My car was fitted with the latest model of radiator : the large one, close to the engine, with a shroud surrounding the fan.
Adrian, would you eventually have in stock the original radiator (with shroud + fan), uprated for better cooling? (French riviera is quite hot along summer days...)
