Not that he needs it....but I can vouch for Steve's experience with this
radiator modification. It works fantastic! When I installed the
"remodeled" radiator with the new core, I did not reinstall the pusher
electric fan. Just as well. Driving in very warm SoCal weather this summer
put it to the test. Did not need the pusher. Can now idle in the driveway
for 20 minutes before it begins to creep over 210 degrees.
'Nuff said. Thanks for the information and the experimentation Steve.
Happy Holidays to Everyone
Allan

Mark, et al,
I bought my re-core in Simi Valley. The owner will take your old radiator
by UPS and return the new one to you, if you don't live nearby. I can
vouch for his workmanship. He was recommended by the local Lotus expert
mechanic, and he sold it for $300, + $21.75 California sales tax. This was
over a year ago, s some change may have occurred , and out-of-state doesn't
pay tax, but does pay shipping.
When I asked him about the specs for the core, for those living elsewhere,
he gave it to me, and I published it, but he also offered to do the work by
UPS.
His Business is:
Ask for Ken, I told him I was going to give out this information. His
caution is that he does not know the condition of your tanks. Before he
can give you a firm quote, he must assure that the parts he needs are
usable. Give him a call.
Ken at:
Commercial Radiator Service

He calls it a Special High Efficiency Core and they are 5/16 tubes on 3/8
centers from Modine's custom department. 4 row, 14 fin/inch, and fit the
stock tanks in width.
