Is there a source for all metal stock radiators anymore? It looks like all I can find have plastic end caps.
Right before the great server crash of 2022, we raced our '85 745T at Willow Springs. Our radiator developed two leaks which we fixed with JBWeld to finish the weekend. I believe it is the original stock radiator with metal side caps. This radiator has been rock solid for 5 years of racing, always staying between 180-190 degrees. I am worried a Nissens with plastic end tanks will fail.
I am not super excited about spending 300-400 for a do88 and I don't really want to do much fabrication. Whatever I choose, it needs to have a fan switch and a way to mount my existing electrical fan.
I was looking at the NISSENS 65544A. Am I worried needlessly?
