If you do decide to buy one, a really good price and quality repro is
sold through <nosimport.com> or <LBCarco.com> I just put one in my
Midget because the original was in such bad shape the radiator shops
in town couldn't do anything with it cheaper than the repro. This is a
good quality repro made in (I think) Portugal for a British company.
The only difference between it and the original is that it has metric
6M x1.0 fasteners.
Cheers!!
