Hi Mark, any updates on the Aluminum radiator kits? Took my spider out for a ride for the first time this year and the radiator is starting to leak from what looks like every where. Thanks Bob

Yea, did they ever get set up for 1608's? I am planning to have my rad "fixed" soon but if these are still available and reasonably priced I'd rather go that route.

you need to call the shop to order at this time. It's a very tight fit on a 1608 and we suggest notching the radiator support for more clearance on the early cars. We have a custom Flex-o-lite kit for the early cars but it's more expensive than our other kit

I have a 81 with auto trans. I pulled the stick and the fluid was milky cream color. The car sat
since 96. Is the rad leaking into the trans line or just a lot of condensation? There was not much coolant in the rad. How much for a new AL. rad and a trans cooler? Any help is welcome. Thanks, Eman2112.

these radiators don't have trans coolers in them. A separate trans cooler would have to be used, which isn't a huge problem
