Default New radiator for a SIII v12

Hey guys since I got shafted on my last radiator purchase.

I would like to know who you guys recommend?

I was thinking of upgrading to an alloy radiator so that kinda eliminates getting it re-cored!

Is it worth speaking to somebody and getting one custom made?

Cheers

Steve,

I have always used Tonkin Radiators, here in Adelaide, for any radiator issues. They understand the V12 set up, coz they owned them. I have only had one that the tinning did not take 100%, and they simply redid it.

I have not gone down the alloy retro path as I have never had a cooling issue with any of the older Jags, either 6 or 12 cylinder. I have read thousands of pages on single pass, alloy, EWP, etc, etc, and all mine are as built, except for thermo Falcon fans, and 82c stats with a 2mm bleed hole in the disc, and the transmission heat exchanger removed from the radiator of them all.
