Stu,
Since I'm the source of the info on this Modine core, and
apparently the info I got from the core itself is
insufficient, I called up my builder, Commercial Radiator
Service, 864 Los Angeles Ave, Simi Valley, CA 93065.
He was gracious ennough to supply additional information
that should aid your quest.
He stated that these radiator cores were indeed ordered thru
their special order department. That is not to say that
they manufactured tubes and fin assemblies just for him, but
that they took an existing product design (run) and made it
to the size required from the class core material desired.
The most important point is to get the basic core form their
"High Efficiency Core" (HEC) line. He recalls, but won't
swear, that these are 5/16 tubes on 3/8 centers, and were 4
rows. The dimensions of the header end plates are, of
course, made to match the Tiger tank dimensions. A job for
your radiator shop to specify, as well as the distance
between headers for the tanks, as he has the original.
My previous communication gave the approximate dimensions I
could measure, and these are MY meaasurements, only as good
as my ruler and counting:
"7) Replace orignal, or older design 4 row, with new
high density, high
performance radiator. Same thickness as original 3 row, and
requires no
mods of tanks. Modine H 69 H Cross flow. 18 1/2 W x 15 1/2
high. Four
parallel rows of tubes, 36 tubes/row, each 3/8 inch deep by
0.080 wide
externally. 14 fins/per inch fin density. This is about
$300, built
by radiator shop, and well worth it."
Well, 3/8 is pretty close to 5/16. His number was as he
remembered, and mine was as good as I could measure. They
probably don't step them that closely anyway. The core is
just slightly thicker than the original 3 row, and a good
deal thinner than the older four row, so the tanks and
shroud fit very well.
Hope this helps.
Steve
