hi all
im looking to fit a uprated rad to my 1969 p6 v8 auto.
to help with my temp issues
tried all other options now this has been recommended to me.
need one asap as car in repair shop.
I am going to the resto show at the nec on sunday does anyone know of a company there selling them.
any help would be great.
regards

Hi Paul,

As far as I am aware, you cannot buy new radiators ready to fit for the P6B anymore. That is not a problem as it is only the core which distinguishes whether the radiator is standard or heavy duty. The repair shop should just send the radiator to a radiator repair business. The existing core will be removed and a 3 row heavy duty core fitted back in its place. I have never had a problem thus far sourcing a core here in Australia, so I would anticipate that being in the U.K, you shouldn't either.

What is the overheating issue? I'd be surprised if that helps unless the rad is blocked? Have you tried running a hose through is to see if it runs out freely?
 
the temp goes into the red then drops a bit .
they have flushed the rad and it seems to be partially blocked with crud.
just thought if im changing it I might aswell put a larger one on as these help with overheating problems.
I see jon wadhams sells them but need one asap so hoping I might even pick one up from this weekends show at the nec.
cheers
paul
