 There are a bunch of answers here, but a lot of TR6 crowd buys them from 
Wizard Radiator (www.wizardcooling.com)
There's a guy on the Triumphs list - Art Lipp - that sells the Wizards at a 
discount.
My one concern about aluminium radiators is that most of the time you can't fix 
them, so if you crack them, it's in the bin for 'em. Copper / brass is more 
forgiving. Ally does have the "wow" factor, though.

Wise(ned) ones,
Where are folks getting (street) Al radiators nowadays? Just got the original 
TR6 rad back from the local radiator shop with an estimate of ~$360 to re-core, 
re-cap the lower end, and get rid of all the acorns the squirrels have 
thoughtfully stashed in mine, so I figure it's probably cheaper to get a new Al 
one than press my luck with the original. 

I found 3 row versions for a bit under $200, but they don't seem to know much 
about Triumphs (the pictures have the inlet/outlet pointing in the wrong 
directions) so I figured I'd check here...
Stay fast!Bob
