The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

The Brassworks reproduction looks like the original, any old 41 radiator that you purchase may have a core that is not as efficient in cooling. This could be due to calcium build up or loose fins.

If you want to drive the car in warm weather, I would go for the Brassworks radiator.

Jehn, Welcome to the forum, and to the EFV8CA. Your best bet for radiator replacement is to take your old radiator to a qualified radiator shop, where they will remove the upper and lower tanks, bump out any dents, and reinstall with a new core. This will be the most cost effective replacement, while retaining as much originality as possible, and of course wil be the correct dimensions. Your only problem now is to find a shop capable of doing this, as most today do not have the facility nor the expertise.

As an afterthought, when you find such a qualified shop, you may request that they refurbish your existing complete radiater, as the core may indeed be salvageable.

Im looking for a radiator for my 41 coupe but it´s not so easy to find because that model seems to have a very special one. May be anybody out there know if a radiator from another flatty will fit?
It´s not necessary for me to get the crank space like that on the original 41 radiator but I want it to have the same size.
