5000 Radiator Overflow Tube Broken

[TM]

If anyone can tell me where I can get a metal end-tanked radiator
for a '91 200q (needs auxiliary radiator fittings), I'll be interested.

Same for a metal end-tanked aux. radiator.

Actually, I'd rather go w/ an aluminum radiator over brass- brass is
heavy
as hell.

Taka

This thread on plastic vs. brass has come up so many times it might be
nominated as Torsen was for it's own list......

Plastic radiators will strand you, they just decide to blow apart large
sections, such as goosenecks at inopportune times and places usually
too.  Plastic radiators will break off appendages when changing hoses,
or just by leaning on the wrong spot long before their useful life is
over, BTDT.


A brass radiator will manifest it's impending failure with a slow leak
that can be addressed as time permits, and you don't have to worry about
brittleness while working around it.

For more, just check the archives....this horse has just about been
flogged to death.
