Giving this fully welded aluminium radiator a go. $170 eBay. Three cores.

Has the trans cooler on the cold side not the hot side so it might be useful. Comes with everything rad cap fittings for trans pipes, drain plug also a big screw in Bung which could be used for a sensor.

Certainly looks the goods, do you have a link?
You'll also have to keep us posted on performance and if there are any fitting issues...

I fitted a LHD radiator to mine. You may have to modify the bottom mounts. Pretty easy. Your trans cooler lines going to the cold tank will run very close to the fan. I ran mine between a recess in the frame rail and the AC pipe.

Hope all goes well........Rusty

Here's the link I'll keep y'all posted.

Ty rustynuts good to know what's involved. I'll have to decide if I run with the radiator or go for just a large separate trans cooler. Given its a lhd one and having to fit the pipes across somewhere. I'm running twin electrics which I'll be thankful for with the pipes running close

Hey Billabong.
This is what I did. I am a fan of cooling a trans through the rad first. I have my reasons but don't want to debate it. Running the trans lines is not hard. Simply get some trans cooler hose, [NOT FUEL LINE ] and go ahead. I run a big trans cooler as well. With the mounting, all you need to do is either make another mounting strip attached to the bottom of the rad to line up with tabs for the shrouds. You can get away with simply elongating two existing ones if you want. Cable ties are your best friend when running new hoses.
Let us know how you go.

Rusty

Just noticed the 5% discount they put on it since I bought it. But before anyone buys it the radiators not a simple bolt in job...


Looks a bit tilted back a couple of degrees once top panels attached. The dowels on the bottom must be further back on this radiator. Don't think that affects the functionality.


Top panel lines up with all bolt holes.

Like you say rustynuts the fan shroud mounts back to front and needs improvising.

May be just as well, you're running twin electric fans, with that slant on the rad. [emoji33]
Can't see that playing nice with the standard setup...
