radiator re core help

Post by richards8248 »

Hi, I'm after a re core for my 4dx and I'm being quoted around the £200 mark. Has anyone ever had one for or know of a reputable place. It's not leaking just all the fins flattened as usual and I want it to look pretty 8-)

You might be able to get a new alloy one for not much more than that.

I haven't used these people. I found them when I was considering getting an upgraded rad for my 3TJ.

I had an NC30 rad recored by Northern Radiators several years ago. It was great..but has not lasted very well.


I'd be looking to get a rad that can be made to fit and haev it modfied - new pipes and brackets is cheaper than a recore

Yam's are fairly good on fin bending so rather than spend on recoring I'd look for a secondhand one - this is afterall just tidying up the look of the bike

Thanks for replies it was northern radiators that quoted 170. Rang padgetts they can't get one anymore at if they could it would be £1500 :whistle:
Think I'll try a few more places for now
