Im in Charlotte (Cotswold).
My radiator from JTO has sprung a leak. To get it fixed is about the same cost of a new one. So I'm looking for a new one that will last, And Local. Are there any bolt up replacements? Is anybody running one of those 4Row radiators?

Thanks for the welcome.
Maybe I should have been more specific. Who do you guys like spending money with?
 
I haven't replaced mine yet, so I'm no help. I do need to get one for my project, so I'm curious as to what people have gotten in the past also. May need to post to main tech forum...
 
Yeah, take it to main tech - I replaced mine years ago and can't for the life of me remember where it came from.

Oh, and welcome to the insanity!

:beer: Ramon
 
I have one in charlotte if you are looking for a used one. PM me is interested
 
everyone in the main forum likes radiator barn. Service and quality are supposed to be solid.

a 40 in Cotswold I dont know about huh? I live in Cotswold. Where are you? You dont by any chance have a blueish gray one do you?
 
Just got back.
Mine is a blue. I did a frame off in 2001 and some of the parts are really showing their age. I spent the afternoon replacing the plugs and adjusting the timing. I found the ball on the flywheel for what feels like the first time. I'm running some sort of magnetic points I got form JTO. They still work. Well I got the timing ball lined up but when I hit the gas it sputters and the ball disappears, any thoughts? I'm on Bridlepath. I cant go far with the leaky rad.

Rafael, I'm still trying to figure out how to PM.
 
Welcome! Another Charlotte guy here...

As far as PM's, click on Roxx's name and an option for private message should come up.

Hope to meet you soon!

That's supposed to happen - it's vacuum advance. More throttle = more advance = bb outside the window. Lining the bb up w/ the arrow is to set base timing only. Set it at idle and you're good.
