There are several places in the UK you could try - start by calling TRGB
(+44 1487 842168), then TR Bitz(+44 1925 861861), Robsport
International (+44 1763 848673) or TR Trader (+44 161 426 0050).
Radiators occasionally are for sale in the TR Register magazine (a good
club to join - see their Web Site) but I don't have the latest one
handy. Oh yes - there is alway Moss's (+44 181 948666)
Best of luck!
