    Hi guys haven't been here for quite a while, but me and my Comet are still going strong. Hope you guys are all doing fine as well.

    The radiator in the Comet is giving up, the radiator is a 2 row 6 cyl radiator (from a Mustang I think), but the Comet has a 351W so I want a new one instead of having the core changed.

    Can you recommend a good source that is reasonably priced and will supply a radiator that fits. I'm a long way from the USA so I need to be sure I get the right parts :cry: because shipping is expensive.

    I never had any heat problems with the two row radiator, but I plan to buy a 3 row rad.

    I'm probably old fashioned but I don't like the look of the aluminium radiators, so I,m looking for an good old brass rad. Unless you guys can convince me othervise :)

    Type radiator or aluminum radiator in the search function. There's lots of info from past posts on there. :)

    :thumbs2: The aluminum radiators are pretty cool and work great.
