Aluminum rads in stock

The SRAC approved the aluminum replacement 100% and sent it up the ladder. We thought it was done. This was some time back, nothing off the presses. The next committee said no ( I think it is the stock/super stock committee). We disagreed and sent it back recently. Hoping it gets done, and before 2015, but than again .......

What radiator will be allowed? Can we buy a custom Don Davis radiator, or does it have to be a plastic tank aluminum core type? That plastic Alum radiator is not a great deal at all. Those leak constantly where the core is crimped to the tank. The only good reason for using one of these is weight savings. They will not last longer
