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 ****.

That's certainly very cheap....

What site? Was it Barratt?

 

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!
