I spent over a year chasing overheating problems on my TR3A; that turned out
to be entirely caused by an original radiator that held and flowed water
just fine, but had lousy thermal efficiency.  Apparently the tubes were no
longer in good thermal contact with the fins, so the heat didn't flow to the
fins to be conducted to the air.  Even worse than having no fins at all!

IMO you made the right decision.
