Wise(ned) ones,
Where are folks getting (street) Al radiators nowadays? Just got the origin=
al TR6 rad back from the local radiator shop with an estimate of ~$360 to r=

I found 3 row versions for a bit under $200, but they don't seem to know mu=

directions) so I figured I'd check here...
Stay fast!Bob
