I only use Beko radiator in Concord CA. Perfect service for over 20 years.

They do make them, Brassworks. Just had a 33 made. They will custom build it to your specifications. Think the 33 ended up costing close to $1000.

The cotter pin on the bolt from radiator to frame? Just curious, as I don't want his to happen to me.

Thanks,

Cotter pin? What cotter pin? Even if both bolts attaching the radiator to the front cross member fell out there are other attachments that preclude the radiator from moving rearward (the radiator shell to radiator fasteners and the bottom of the radiator shell against the front apron, the hood sides, and the upper radiator support rods).

What cotter pin? If this a V8 no cotter pin in fan assembly.
Or did the radiator hit the fan? Only cotter pin I can think of would be in the radiator to cross member mounting bolts.
