Sorry for your problem & aggravation with the radiator, but you just saved me a truck load of problems. I was going to get the same radiator but you have changed my mind about that. My local radiator shop said they could re-core mine for around $400 & I thought I would get the cheaper reproduction. Not any more, I will re-core mine.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
