Michael:
Look in the yellow pages under radiators. A radiator repair shop
will be able to boil out your radiator, repair any broken straps, leaks
or other problems, pressure test, and repaint it. Got mine done for $70.
Good as new.

Subject: Radiator question
Fellow Listers--
My 1974 TR6 has been running hotter than I would like, even with the oil
cooler. I had it out yesterday in the 90+ degree Atlanta heat and even
on the highway the gauge stayed on the high side of midline.
I'm contemplating replacing the radiator, which is just about the only
part that I haven't replaced or refurbished.
Has anyone had experience with buying a replacement radiator from the
Big 3? Or are there custom application that you can recommend? I tend
to drive the car moderate most of the time with spells of spirited
excess.
As always, thanks for your collective insight.
