Heater matrices no longer available?

I would imagine the LHD cars have a different heater box and matrix. I will ask them, but it would be costly, a lot more than a new one from Toyota due to the low volume and hand production. Wheteher they have access to the fine tube cores i don't know. The Supra IC cores are brazed up especially to meet the very thick OE core depth and use modern core tubes. That's why they need to do 4 at once to make it worthwhile getting the vacuum brazing oven set up.

Yep Mr T was asking £450+

 

 

 

What is the build quality like any pictures?

 

What is fitment like?

 

How long has it been fitted?

 

Well it's basically a water radiator, it felt ok didn't feel cheap, was in much better state than the matrix coming out.

 

Been in since year and a half with no problems. I noticed it was a bit thinner than oem, but it fitted.

I found this image on Google, does anyone know if this is an OEM unit vs the demisterman version?

 

I took that picture :)

 

That is indeed OEM vs Demisterman.

 

The Demisterman one was alright, didn't get up to temp as quick, nor did it get just as hot.
