Just got a new Radiator for my XJ.
It was $108 free shipping. From www.completeradiators.com
The manufacturer is "Ready-Rad".
Its an aluminum core, and it came bare metal. I would think the thinwall aluminum would need a little protection from corrosion and I'm thinking of painting it.
Anyone have any suggestions on what paint to use on a radiator?
This is a single row core, but my existing radiator was a single row core as well. My old radiator had the typical tubes for the row, probably a 1/3" deep and 1/8" wide, leaving mostly unused space under the tanks with a shallow core inbetween them. The tubes on the single row of this radiator are a full inch deep, maybe slightly wider than 1/8" and takes up all the space under the tanks, the core (even though its single row) depth takes up all the space between the tanks.
