November 5, 2006 If you go way back to early 2002 (see page 16 on the index) you will see the long tale of how I destroyed the first "correct" radiator I had installed in the Mustang. That one went in with the engine when we first got it running again, but met a quick death soon thereafter... So I finally found another one that looks right - with the squared off brackets on top instead of the round ones you see on all of the repros. One thing I have learned since then is that it seems like San Jose cars may have come with the rounded brackets originally anyways, and that is the look that the repros all have. But my original Dearborn radiator has these squared off brackets, so that it what I was looking for all along. Also, it seems that many local radiator shops are all telling me the same thing: that the cores for these are not made new anymore - or are at least very hard to come by. So I took my original white oversprayed radiator, and 3 others I had all with various leaks and problems, and had a local place make me one from all of the best parts! It worked out great. I installed it at our club's fall tech meeting. Once I got it home and looked at it a few times, I decided the top tank needed a better coat of paint, so I masked it off and took care of it. I think it turned out perfect! -Zim
