Alright my original "old school" Renegade H. radiator is leaking. Now those of you that put together your cooling setup, what Aluminum radiator did you run from Summit or Jegs? Or other online source?

Griffin aluminum 2 pass, about $275, fits great and works so good I can run pusher fans. even on the hottest days, one fan is all it takes, I have the second one on manual. The guys are right about minimum joints, it's the only way to go. I ran my hoses thru copper 90 degree ells to get them to turn neatly into the front compartment and used the good (and very expensive) marine hose with the wire in it. i really wanted to have an auxiliary electric pump to run for a minute or two after the car was shut down but gave up the idea because of the extra joints it would take.

Tyler, Just how expensive is that marine hose ? Apart from the copper ells in the front compartment, do you run the marine hose all the way to the engine ? And for anybody running tubing in those channels on the underside of the car : what kind of clamps do you use ? Thx |
