Got a question regarding the downflow radiator on my 62. I discovered a
pinhole in the upper tank. Since the tank has a few dents and I'm sure
has never been cleaned out I'm planning to take it down to the shop for
repair. My question is this, Should I have them add another row to the
core while it's apart. The gage does push a bit above 212 DEG when
idling in traffic in the summer. And that's with Water Wetter. I haven't
got a cost on adding this extra row so that may influence my decision
but I just wanted to get a feel from the list as to whether it's a good
idea or not.
Before anyone suggests it, I don't want to do the aluminum (Metro,
Scirocco, etc.) radiator on this car. I want to keep as much British in
it as I can (Though I've already conceded the 5-speed is a requirement).
TIA
