Aluminium radiators $ ?
 
I almost hate to ask, but has anyone used one of these chinese aluminum xke radiators? They have bits in all the right places, and a drain cock.

3 Row Jaguar XKE Manual 1965 1966 1967 Aluminum Radiator | eBay

I know some of the hotrod guys have used them with good results but... :icon_slapcry:
Why is it so tempting? Flame suit on,

That's certainly very cheap....
Here's a link to our UK manufactured radiator for a comparison.

Of course your 10% discount would also be applicable here..

I converted to an aluminum radiator a number of years ago, but, mine is a "Ron Davis", a recognized quality product. With such an important part, I wasn't ready to sacrifice quality and fitment for cash.
Good Luck with your choices.

Yea, point taken Ken. I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. Maybe on the old xj6, but just not the thing to do on an e-type.

Yea, I have they cost $153. dollars and I have seen the same rad for $300. and$400.
with so-called "brand names" on them. Some guy is selling them on ebay out of califorina they are Great! Put a single 16" american made fan behind behind it and you have a very efficient combo!
