i got the 42mm its installed now. only thing im worried about are the fans dont sit flush with the radiator. sits about 5mm higher. im going to buy some foam and seal it off.

hrmms would it be a bad idea to have no fans installed ?

I have had a couple of alloy radiators and it is definitely the luck of the draw, I had a $700 Koyo radiator that lasted me under 2 years, the current ebay one has been in it for about 2 years and still seems to be alright, a friend had a PWR radiator for his Subaru paid $950 for it, it lasted 2 weeks before coolant started leaking from the core in a few places, no warranty as they claimed it was some sort of earthing problem on his car.

[quote="NitroDann"]For the 50th time, plenty have ebay alloy replacements for 170ish shipped. They are good.

Search, honestly.

Do you do anything special about earthing the alloy radiator Dann?
