Default question about radiator on ebay

They are coming out with a brand new radiator for these cars soon as well. I actually just emailed them today to see if they are ready for sale yet. They will not work for a points car, but they were expecting them to cool GREAT on a driver.

1.) It has the neck for the 28 -29 's only. Advertised for 28 through 31 so be careful on the size.
2.) $100 shipping !!!!!! from the commies...
3.) If you wish to return it it would also be $100 shipping back to China.

I vote for USA made only.......

In talking to him he said that recoring the old tanks is starting to get sketchy as most have been recored so many times. (my words there)

The new radiator will be an EXACT fit, but will use a modern core. The tanks will be NEW as well. They are having the dies made, and they are not back to them yet from the email I got last night.

He said the funnel inlet at the top of the radiator also won't be there it will be a standard inlet.

That is what I recall from the conversation a month ago.
