	I want to replace the 23" x 25" radiator on my truck with an ally one. Various opinions exist, and I guess they are mostly valid. I run a 350 V8 in the truck and the USA EBay has loads, but then there is shipping, taxes etc to be added. I have found this lot www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201350613176?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT And these guys, www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181094872901?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT What do you guys who know your way around radiators do? Bite the Ebay bullet ?? Or is there a UK manufacturer who one can support and still get a decent deal? Links, numbers and special dispensation and discounts all accepted. (I may need to buy two if that helps the price) Thanks as always.

	I bought my alloy radiator via eBay from Ledfoot Racing in the States. I then spent a good few days thinking "what the ** have I done!?", expecting to get a box that every single parcel monkey from Alabama to Brighton had bounced up and down on. What I actually got was a really good quality rad with excellent welding, built-in quick release drain cock and even the heater matrix take-off pipe that's often left off aftermarket RX-7 radiators. And it was treble-wrapped so even the worst abuses of Arhole Farce couldn't damage it. Can't remember the exact figures, but import duty and handling came to about 1/3rd the overall cost, and it was under £200 landed which was a lot less than getting anything similar in this country. The make of the rad was Champion, they do generic as well as model-specific stuff too

	Serck Racing (http://www.serckservicesmotorsport.co.uk/) did mine for the Healey. Wasn't cheap but sheds 450bhp+ of heat from what is a small radiator plus as they've got to build it you can specify it any way you want. And if it goes wrong it can go back easily.

	Yeah, mine's a 3-row Champion. It's a superb bit of kit
