AFTERMARKET ALUMINUM RADIATOR

If a car is being pulled from the front, doesn't that mean it's being towed?

Re: AFTERMARKET ALUMINUM RADIATOR
There are a lot of companies that are using this same layout. Depending on engine - you might consider a 3 or 4 row, for a little more money. The main issue (I have one similar to this) is that the alternator pull is extremely close to the lower hose location. It fits in my case, but it essentially touching the hose. You could get a slightly smaller belt, and adjust it away from it (I haven't done this - but I'm surmising it could be done).
Finished is better than perfect......

Re: AFTERMARKET ALUMINUM RADIATOR
Thanks James. The goal for this is a stock radiator replacement on a car with an L20B swap. The original rad is leaking and in poor shape. This is actually cheaper than a re-core.

Same company (DNA) sells 2 row one bay with fans for $106.00 I would check reviews and get a 3 row on ebay for less than that one on Amazon. With a 3 row I can watch my temp gauge and see when the thermostat opens (mildly hopped up L-18). The other will work though.

Re: AFTERMARKET ALUMINUM RADIATOR
I bought a 3 row off eBay. I had the same problem that James had. The alternator pulley was really close to the lower hose and would hit it. I was able to remedy that by trimming the sheet metal which allowed the radiator to sit farther away from the engine. Like 1/4" maybe. But it worked. I haven't had any other issues and the quality seemed good. The welds look nice and it doesn't leak.

Our cheap ebay rad didn't leak after this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If that's not a glowing recommendation I don't know what is.

Re: AFTERMARKET ALUMINUM RADIATOR
For the Americans in the conversation. The link I sent is Amazon Canada. eBay is not really an option in Canada as shipping is exorbitant along with ordering anything from Amazon US or a company south of the border. For example an inner shift boot from Zcar garage is $10.. Shipping? $42.. beyond stupid. So Amazon Canada prices are actually not horrible even if selection is limited.

Re: AFTERMARKET ALUMINUM RADIATOR
This is the cheapest 3-row on eBay and the other is a random.
