G'day, know nothing about the ones you mention, but have been advised those in the business, stick with a
well known brand, PWR. Proven product, not cheap but.

Funnily enough the GQ ebay radiators look a safer bet than the picture of a radiaor on a world site that specifically sells radiators! I was thinking that if you recall the trouble radiators use to be back in 70's era and earlier cars you want to spend and get a good one but maybe the ebay is ok.....remember to place all your hoses while your at it.

Thanks for the info I checked PWR $1005.00 bit pricey standard radiator $550 I just thought the alloy one on e:bay might be ok if it helps the car run cooler after ideling for a while it heats up thinking of putting thermo fan on. The person before me put an after market turbo on

I can't offer any comment on the radiator in question, but I have dealt with the seller mentioned, and found them to be fairly knowledgeable about the products they sell, and the stuff I've bought from them has been of good quality..
You may (or may not) be aware that they are an established B&M auto parts outlet on the Sunshine Coast (were in Nambour, now in
Maroochydore)...
If I was in the market for a radiator, I'd certainly be having a closer look at their offerings...
