Anyone know of a North American radiator that is a relativley easy swap over for a rad? I was thinking possibly a chevy sprint or pontiac firefly sorta thing... Not really into waiting months to get a new rad outa asia! Help! haha ktownminihijet
ya eh It's at a rad shop right now, they are unsure if its worth the money to repair in its current state. Might be better off fabbing something similar to fit or ordering a replacement from asia.
pooched as some would say... So turns out my rad is not worth fixing, too much rust and plugged solid! They quoted me 450 CDN to make a new one for me.... Anyone know of any cross over rads that would fit nice from one of the other trucks? Also would coolant capacity make a big difference? Not sure what the capacity is of the s83p rad compared to a geo metro or suzuki swift ect
update Chevrolet Sprint radiator has virtually same dimensions, same in/out hose diameters and a very simple fab to mount fan to unit and unit to truck! Ill try and post pics as I go, but 450 for rebuild or 130.00 CDN taxes in on aluminum sprint rad? I think so! ktownminihijet
