Hi Guys, I've been away awhile just finally was able to get some time to work on my 48 F1 again, Got it running last weekend for the first time in about 2 and half years. How ever come to find out my Radiator is total toast. Called local rad shop for recore they told me 950-1100.00.

Just was wondering if anyone knows of any aftermarket ones that would work ?. Just until I'm able to get my original one fixed. I was thinking aluminum one. I see that top inlet tub is on the right side. Could I use a off set 48-50 Ford car thermostat housing from 226 and pair with new aluminum rad ?. I've kind lost with what I can do.

I do truly appreciate any type of input.

Cheers

Cody
