Actually Sandy, Fuidyne recently started making batches of aluminum
radiators for Dale. Dale sells them for $550. The radiators are the stock
configuration and can be painted black for those who want the stock look.
Internally they have a new 3 row core that is about 2" thick in the fan
area.
When I last spoke to Dale he also had some of the radiators from the
previous vendor still available.
