Have a look through some race car publications, that's the type of place they advertise. I had one made for the Cosmo and that cost $700ish six years ago.

Don't go aluminium! if they leak there is no remedy. Get copper ones, you can solder them back together.

had a leak earlier this year $550 later for just a core. My tanks and everyhting. Well at least it a twin core copper now.

wtf a complete new radiator for a BA V6 is less than that.

the guy didn't have any in his listing. had one for the 626 tho. Got the core alone and then used my tanks on there.

don;t know what part avaliability is like in other states but in SA BA parts are scarse.

Weird, they certainly exist - OEM (25mm) and aftermarket (27mm)

The 2 row A/M V6 ones are about $300 from Ozeparts (and they ship auswide).
