Alloy Radiators

[Tamora Tom]

Morning everyone, I am looking to upgrade my standard radiator to an alloy one. I've looked on a few of the TVR specialist sites who seem to be charging around £450. Which seem to be a bit expensive. I will be fitting the radiator myself.

Does anyone know of a company I can buy direct? ...and will provide a radiator with all the correct mounting points etc?

Already alloy isn't it?

How's the Aaron radiator been? I'll be replacing mine soon.

Does it come with the metal shroud to bolt on your fans?

Fitted an Aaron rad in mine a few months back, fitted really well and comes with all the holes pre drilled . You just need to take off the carbon/plastic panel that the fans screw to and swap them onto the new one from memory. Takes no time at all.

Mines been in a while now. Swapped over the cowels too. Very easy job.

Thanks guys.

I tghink I'll go with the one from TVR power as I'd prefer to have the metal shroud for the fan mounts. Im going to get the uprated fans too.

I fitted an Aaron radiator earlier this "summer". Great people to deal with.
I also swapped out the hoses at the same time- made sense.
The only glitch I had was the rubber bobbins onto which it mounts;- they don't come off easily- luckily my local motor factor had a pair in stock- else i'd have been knackered;- buy yourself a pair before you start.
The radiator vent screw is right under the nose cone; you need a short angled phillips head driver to slack it and bleed the system when filling.
If fitting silicon replacement hoses- leave the trim pieces off the car until you've re-tightened the jubilee clips a few times (like 200 ish!). then refit them when you're done.

Good stuff.

Any pics of the radiator now installed? Have you got air con, if so did it make it a difficult job?
