typ44 - who carries the radiator w/ the metal side/hose

[Larry C Leung]

To make things perfectly clear, I did NOT end up purchasing
the then availible (oh about 4-5 years ago AIR, NLA) all metal Modine
radiator b/c when it was all metal, it was pricey compared to the
OEM plastic end tanked aluminum radiator I purchased from 
Double Z. As I said before, since the OEM went nearly 14 years and
180K+ miles, I wasn't worried about the composite radiator. As I
recall, the Modine metal (again, it's No Longer Availible) was about
$50 more, and I saw no point in buying a heavier radiator for more
money at the time. Just wanted to clear that up.
