Aluminum radiator
I had these copied from original, almost the same, but uses a slightly different radiator cap. This is a 2000 '68 aluminum radiator, profesionnaly welded not China. '69/'70 almost ready. 1600 will follow.

Re: Aluminum radiator
One of the problems with the Champion radiators was that they weren't a dropin fit for later cars, due to the steering box, I thinkl.
Will these radiators drop in to all appropriate models?
Certainly roadster PORN

Re: Aluminum radiator
Very nice looking piece of work. Looks exactly right and only questions are where and how much?

Re: Aluminum radiator
Maybe the next time Richard comes over from the Netherlands to go on a cruise with Ted he can stuff some in his suitcase
P.S. Richards website is listed with the other vendors on the quick links.

Re: Aluminum radiator
Richard and Erica are planning a USA roadster trip this year in August to end at the SHEDD ROADSTER BBQ.
A few radiator orders may justify an extra airline carry on suitcase!

Re: Aluminum radiator
These are made to the specifications of each year and model, we are aware of the differences in the later style steering box, fan shrouds, etc.

Re: Aluminum radiator
Nice Job Richard! I thought about doing the same, All USA construction since I could not see ever using one of the "square top" radiators, but your's look excellent. j
