Sourcing Proper Looking Radiator for Mk 2

[Mini4Ever]

Does anybody have a good pointer of where I could buy a new proper looking radiator for my Mk2? What I mean is that the top of the radiators from Mini Spares and the like is rather different from the original...

Hi don't think anyone sells them new now but, here you can get new cores put in, I have just had one done for 70 pounds, that was a four core for my newtune car.

I know about recoring them but hoped that I didn't need to go that way ...

[newtune]

yeah littler, think its rayson tho

the likely hood of finding a NOS is slim and why put one with 40 years of sludge in the bottom of it, through a fresh engine.

totaly agree,re-core is the way to go.

If I was you I'd go for a recore. Finding one that looks correct as new or NOS would be as close to impossible as you can get.

In the UK a recore is usually a bit cheaper than a new replacement rad too!
