Default Radiators woes

Peoples... I didn't wanna hijack the alloy radiator thread but i am in a spot of bother. On the way home this arvo the factory TJ radiator decided to die in the ass, the top header tank split near the cap. I need to fix this asap! I do like the idea of an alloy one, I would just like some feed back on what fellow Jeepers would suggest first. I dont want to muck around with the old one either, just think its better to replace it with a brand spanker.. Any info much appreciated

Cheers Rob

If you need one ASAP to get you out of the shite, go around to Ian's and take the Rad out of mine

Also, can you get your old man to PM his number as I picked a new phone the other day and must of had his number saved to the phone instead of the SIM...

FC.

NatRad have one in their books, don't know model number but I think it is listed under YJ but you will know the one when you see it.

Yeah, NatRad sold me the wrong one first - correct according to the computer but then they found there was new listing for an all metal one that fits...which they swapped it for.

See http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/...light=radiator

Sorry no part numbers

Did the same thing, went to Natrad and got an all metal one, well really metal tanks.

I got the one listed for the XJ at the time and she fitted no worries, but plz don't quote me on that.

split exactly where mine did...

east coast 4wd have shitty cheap replica, with the plastic end tanks and aluminium core for cheap as.. 250 or something.. this is what i replaced mine with..

If i had the money and time to wait, at the time mine split I would have got the natrad brass/copper one, but after seeing just alloy radiators products id probably go for that..
