Aluminum Radiator

[VX KAT]

Wohoo!! Ron Davis Racing has finished the spec sheet or build sheet on my aluminum radiator and it's now in manufacturing, will be about 2-3 weeks. It continues to have episodes where the temp gets almost to the red zone after a long 15 miles climb up my big hill, with A/C and high air temp, so this will be a welcome replacement.

A HUGE thank you to you Roy (newthings) for helping me on this and sending your old radiator to them etc...

Bill is still working on getting a quote for an aluminum shroud and bracket. He needs some other guy to do it and he's been out or something.

The brief details are:

• Two rows of 1" tubes
  
• The fins front to back will be 2.25" vs. the OEM of a hair short of 1.5"
  
• Came in a little under his first ballpark estimate of $800...
  Total $676.02 including tax. OEM from Merlin would be $433.82, so I think it's pretty reasonable based on the increased cooling capacity I'll get, especially living in Arizona.
  
• I get to pick it up in person since they're in the Phoenix area, so I saved on shipping. Plus I can pick up Roy's parts and ship them back to him myself.
  
• I'm going to ask what the price would be if any others want to purchase the same.
  
• Of course now I need to get it in$talled too.

I'm definitely a happy girl! It's going to look so cool .....and be so cool....
Of course pics to follow....
