Does anyone have a scrap / leaking T350 radiator? I need one as a pattern for a high performance version for my T350 racer. I know that Radetec sell them but I had one made for my Twin Turbo Taz by Docking Engineering and it was superb.

Ceejay,
Is it the intention to finish up with something that would still be straight replacement for the standard item (although with more cooling capacity).

If so, would it help if others made an order at the same time?

I ask only as I would like something to help my Sagaris run a litle cooler on hot track days.

Yes, basically I need a high performance version of the standard rad with the same dimensions, pipe layout, bleed etc. Ideally it would be a straight swap item.

I've had an intercooler and radiator made by Docking before and the quality was top notch. The items were also lightweight and performed really well. Also they don't use any glue like some cheaper versions which can limit the heat transfer and increases weight quite considerably.

I hadn't thought of a bulk buy order but if anyone is interested put your name down on this thread and I'll see if I can negotiate a deal. As soon as I have a scrap rad I'll pop over there and confirm pricing and lead times.

Ceejay - may well be interested, never had an issue but then I'll have more heat to handle soon. Please let me know price when you can. smile

By the way, interested in our batch of quaife diffs?

I read about the Quafe ATB on the other thread, there's no doubt they are the mutz nutz for track work and great news that the BTR is now catered for. TBH I'd love one but the racer budget has rocketed and I've spent the last of it on some new slicks and wets. If I can find another sponsor the Quaife diff would be the first thing I would buy.

Thanks for the offers of a rad. Dave Hillis aka plasticman, has kindly loaned me one. I'll visit docking next week.
