Hello,
I did a lot of searching and am aware that radiators that meet the criteria of my FJ are hard to come by, but I am trying to understand my options. Many of the threads on this subject suggest re-core's for existing radiators, but my issue is that I just purchased an FJ40 that already had JB Weld applied to the overflow on the top of the radiator that blew during my drive home. I would like to permanently solve this by replacing this radiator as I would assume another JB Weld will just break unexpectedly in the future.
My major questions:
1. Is the A/C unit in this actually stock? I haven't been able to source if its stock or third party, or what NEK is.
2. If not, then I should be able to use any 1980-fitting OEM radiator, does anyone have suggestions?
3. If yes, what are my options to replace this radiator with something that will work?
Here are pictures of the A/C and radiator, the hose was put back closely to where the break is so it may not be very visible in the photos.
Thank you!
