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

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

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! :D :D

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.

A radiator is made to your specific model and year roadster and will cost US$685,- excl shipping costs.
Original weight (without shroud) 5,5kg (12,13 pound) and the aluminum weighs 3,9kg (8,6 pound).
We ship from the Netherlands.

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
