Tim:
The aluminum version available from Cambridge in England is a respectable
copy of the original, looks proper (it's gorgeous), is VERY light, and works
GREAT.
The bad news is that it is pretty fragile. Ours lasted about ten events, and
then the connection brackets busted, and the core got racked. I suspect JK
could come up with beefy modications (prior to installation), that would make
those connections better.
Obviously you can have a custom radiator built to fit, but I hope you will
consider running something that at least looks like a TR3.
We have gone back to a standard radiator, which we have modified (given up
the crank hole). I am also looking for someone who might repair our aluminum
radiator.
Good luck.
