Vixen S1 radiator

[Astacus]

Can anyone recommend a good radiator repairer. I need to get my rad resurrected. Currently it looks like this



The side supports are all rusted through and it needs re coring. I was considering doing the sides myself, but, at the end of the day, I think I will entrust it to an expert instead. Maybe then I can get it on the car before hell freezes over

Resto is going really slow at the mo

Hi Tim,

thanks. Have you had work done by them?

my concern is finding someone who can do the side supports properly as well as recoring

Personal experiance is limited to a tractor core (40's bolt up rad, cast top, bottom tanks and sides)I built it up. A friend needed a new rad for his v8 converted Vixen, he sent them a drawing of what was required and a few days later a copper cored rad turned up, he was very pleased with it. I'll certainly be going to them for mine.
I have an excellent rad (4 or 5 core, can,t remember which!) from a Vixen 2500 possibly going spare, it,s been checked and pressure tested, don't know what the differences are but it looks like yours, well almost. just more complete and servecable!!!!!!
Where are you based?

Big fail on my part, just seen from your profile you're in Herts. I'm just outside Bury St Edmunds so not worlds apart.

Tim,

Thanks for the offer. I would certainly be interested if its the same rad. I know there where a lot of changes of header tank, top hose position etc during the Vixen production run, but you never know your luck!
