Guest Posted October 29, 2000 Share Posted October 29, 2000 The radiator on my zephyr is shot. It looks like a fan blade dove into it at some point, as it has a large circle scored into the vanes on the inside.<P> In your opinions, would it be better to try to find an original radiator to replace it with, or to have it re-cored with modern components? I've heard that the V-12s can run a bit hot, does this warant new parts?<P> I'm not nearly as concerned with show quality original parts as I am with good quality functional parts (that doesn't mean I'd replace the 12 with a V8!)<P> Any ideas about the cost difference?

Rolf Posted December 4, 2000 Share Posted December 4, 2000 Without knowing more about your specific case, it seems obvious that replacing a 50 to 60 year old radiator with a new one of upgraded and superior components would be desirable. My guess is that a show quality used radiator would be more expensive than a rebuilt, good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
