<< With the renewed interest in authenticity I am again offering my original
radiator to anyone who would like it. In other words for free. I swapped it

for a Hall unit about ten years ago and as best I can recall it was leaking
in several places but certainly rebuildable.
>>>Personally, I would much rather have a rebuilt stock radiator than an
aluminum Fluidyne unit. The later stock radiators were lacking the internal
problems that plagued the early units (most of which were fixed under recall, but
you never know...) I would have a radiator fit a modern brass core, and braze
new fittings for off-the-shelf, modern thermoswitches, and away I'd go,
resulting in a radiator that cools as well as a Fluidyne, but is considerably more
durable, infinitely more repairable, and a fair bit less expensive.
A friend in Monterey just went this route (after a lister similarly donated a
worn-out stock radiator) and the results have been absolutely terrific.
>I don't have room to store it any
longer so send me a private email if you'd like it and we can arrange
shipping. I have the original horns for my 1974L too available on the same
basis if
anyone would like them. >>
>>>Might as well start packing the box--they are going to Canada for sure! :>)
