Hey, Folks,
I've got a pair of TR3-early TR4 long-neck radiators I need to get rid of.
They both feature the crank holes. One had a tidy little square, the other a
little more rectangular. Both seem to have their original cores. Neither have
had any major trauma, i.e., fan through the core, accident damage, etc., but
both leak. One still has its petcock.
One was fitted to my car when I got it in '98. It was 'rodded' and seem to flow
OK, but I could never stop it from leaking around the base of the long-neck
with the subsequent overheating.
After futzing around with it a few years, I purchased an aluminum radiator and
these have been sitting in a corner ever since.
If you're trying to get a TR3 or early 4 into original condition, these would be
ideal for resto. Otherwise, I don't know if they're worth the time and effort
to make them work.
I don't really feel like spending any time on them by packaging and shipping, so
I'd prefer to just GIVE them to somebody who comes by my house which is right
off the 101 near Santa Barbara.
Alternatively, you could trade me a set of wind wings for a TR4 for them.
Thanks,
-jeffrey
