Hi all
Anyone know the best place to source a new radiator? Mines leaking and needs replacing. I can see a bunch of aftermarket ones on eBay for around $200. They all look basically the same, are they any good or is there somewhere better to source one?
Car is 96 GPX in case it matters.
Cheers

Re: Best place to source new radiator
Most people's experiences with the ebay rads seem to have been okay, I had a bit of a dud (but was a bit pickier and didn't want to stuff around fixing it). Ended up with an OEM style replacement from Fenix.

Re: Best place to source new radiator
Just for anyone in the future, bought a GPI Racing brand one off ebay for ~$200ish. According to the mechanic it's a bit wider than the stock one. Needed to bend the fin on one side a bit so it didn't rub up against the AC compressor hose. Also one of the fan holes didn't quite line up, half a screw width off, so cable tied that one. So they work, might require a bit of screwing around to get it in though.
