Post subject:  Radiator replacement
Ok so from what i have learned on here the best radiator to get is a
2 core radiator so rang up karcraft they dont have one (till dec)so tried to sell me
a 4 core.
The one i have is a 3 core.
Now the local radiator guy can get me a 2 core for $275 but im not convinced its the same high flow ones people on here have talked about. the brand of it is Adrad.
The 4 core one he can get is $ 370 where as the one at karcraft is $250
now the padstow guy is $380 for high performance 2 core.
so what the hell is going on?
Advice would be nice.

Sometimes it is a case of you get what you pay for.

The really cheap ones are cheaply made, & will not last for many years. I had my radiator recored, which cost me around the 200 mark with a 3 year warranty. the quality of the core used and the type of solder, and quantity of solder to hold the tanks on, well quite simply there is a whole world of difference.

Besides which, he put a drain tap in the bottom tank, and an auxillary input pipe in the top tank and included it in the price.
:wink: :wink:

Remember it is not always about price.
