Radiator Original Shape In Alloy Pre 1991
Radiator Original Shape In Alloy Pre 1991
Alloy lightweight original looking radiator with correct shape header and lower tanks, same as ARP2000 to look at but made in alloy with latest technology cuprobraze manufacture. Metric fixings see FS106107.
Painted black so they look original and cover any blemishes from preparation and manufacturing. Cheapest high quality alloy radiator available anywhere.
Rave reviews from race and road users for keeping the engine at correct temperature regardless of use or weather conditions. Gary from our Potters Bar branch/shop has one on his 8 port road car.
Advantages of this radiator are-it is greener for the environment to produce, better thermal performance, corrosion resistance, strength and durability.
Use distilled water for these radiators to stop galvanic corrosion from cast iron engine components such as water pumps, engine blocks, cylinder heads and some thermostat housings. This reaction to alloy is known as galvanic corrosion
which can build up using ordinary water.
This is a great option for a std radiator but has proven to be very good on our cars including Garys road use 8 port head car plus a few racers also now.
Water boils at 212F and when under pressure it can raise by 3 degrees for every pound of pressure. Never let your car run at too cool a temperature!
The higher the pressure cap the hotter the water has to get to boil.
suggest using 15lb cap GRC1110
Why are old radiators black? Keith Dodd says early car producers and BMC found black paint on copper dissipated heat the best and stopped them from going green and looking unsightly.
Not suitable for 1976 Australian minis where hose positions are different, the picture shows outlets in original UK and USA positions. A small amount of grease applied to the filler will ease the fitment of the cap.
Bolts to hold the cowl on are M6 – FS106107
