radiator questions

[daniel.watters]

bought a radiator for my troopie from sor... told them that it was an aussie-spec hj47. was sent the wrong radiator; they said that it did not matter if the troopie is rhd vs lhd, it was different because it was made for the austalian market.

should i....
a) buy a used one (where could i get one?)
b) buy an aluminum one (any vendors out there?)
c) have my current patched up... (found out it will cost $800)

help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a full recore of my 3B radiator (which is probably identical) for $350. Find a new shop.

in what way is yours different from the one that SOR sold you? LHD and RHD should be the same rad
do for a fact that the PO didn't so some handy work on the truck before you bought it?
get yours recored or contact Dan at 4wheel, he might have an aluminum in stock...doubtful.

How is the SOR radiator different from your HJ47 radiator?

I put a new radiator in my HJ60 when I got it-I purchased it off ebay australia for 300$ or so. It was not worth it-cheap taiwan core that essentially blew out within 2 years, and leaked everywhere. I had it recored locally for 440$ now with a heavy duty 4 core, and it actually cools much better.

You should be able to get yours recored at a local shop for much less than 800$.

cheers,
