Michael,

Last winter I went through the radiator recore for my TR3.

Originally I was having the radiator flow tested and maybe cleaned.  
When I went back to the radiator shop I was informed that my radiator 
had gone to the landfill by accident.

After contacting the list and getting several kind offers for a replacement 
radiator.  I obtained a suitable candidate for a recore.  The radiator shop 
recored the second radiator and did a very nice job.

One of my requirements was to keep the crank hole.  The replacement 
core had the hole preinstalled.

The core was from:

Maine Auto Radiator, 14 Forrestal Street, Lewiston, ME 04240 1-800-
341-0230 

The core must have been in stock, as the radiator was done in three 
days.

With the new radiator and a shrouded thermostat my TR3 never 
overheated this summer.

Good luck with your radiator,

Roger
