Chris Wilson Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 The rad stub has broken because your polished top hose pipe has put engine rocking loads into the rad. The stock rubber hose takes up engine rock on the engine mountings without putting loads into the rad. The all rubber hose has plenty of give in all planes. By fitting a virtually solid pipe, (only the joining pieces of blue silicone hose have any give), the engine is pushing and pulling on the rad every time you come on and off the throttle. People sell these shiny things without a clue as to the side effects they may have. I see this failure all the time Good for my margin in selling rads, not so good for the customer.

jimwire Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I had a golpher rad and it was a poor fit. It only lasted 2 years then split. Got an asi one now off ebay. It fitted so much better and looks better quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 The SRD alloy rad is ace - good quality and really well priced. I assume they'll ship abroad. Maybe PM LeeP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Also check out ASI Radiators on eBay. They're excellent too. Hodge has one in his car and it's identical to mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReDLineMKIV Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 anybody know that one on ebay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250811498468&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanisLupus Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I'd go with the Rad from SRD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReDLineMKIV Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Sorry dudes, i forget to update. i decided me for a asi performance radiator from ebay. Nice Price, good quality and fits nice too. the weldings are maybe not the best(not real straight, looks like hand made) but i'm satisfied.
