Does anyone know of a vendor(s) that makes custom Alum Radiators that are the same size and look just like stock ones ? - JB -

I use to run an aluminum radiator from Griffin that had the upper & lower tanks stamped similar to the later "squarish" style OEM. They call them "Exact Fit". Not sure if that includes the older style "rounded" tanks.
After a little research, I guess they do! http://www.griffinrad.com/load_detai...key_id=5-70024

My bet is as long as the replacement has roughly the same dimensions it will fly. Good deal as the latest Mustang build will need a replacement anyway, but not sure of any great value as the factory piece is already plastic/aluminum....$79 at Autozone to boot.

Glad to help, Jim. I don't know if there are any other manufacturers that have the OEM style tanks.
I am hoping that the more common and less expensive "box" style tanks will be legal for everyone. The overall style and configuration remains the same.

They are super flimsy as well, ( soft aluminum) but the one core design does a good job of cooling the 302 with the A/C on.
