Hi All,
I think I need a new radiator for my AU, found a little pin hole leak today. I recall reading some time ago, that a particular material is better for radiators, but I can't remember which was better - copper or aluminium. Since I've gotta buy a newy anyway, thought I'd grab whichever one is better. Thanks, Justin. |

he will probably post anyway, but if you pm BLUEPRINT he can set you up with an adrad one. apparently they are australian made and good quality. he should also be able to tell you what material is better...

Why not just repair the one you've got ?

Get an Adrad 2 row brass/copper cored radiator... they are longer lasting and repairable... plus a very good upgrade and less issues with the oil cooler than aluminium and OEM...

Hopefully I can find a dealer in VIC that sells them. Oil cooler section isn't a concern, I bypassed mine a while ago. |
