Paul,

I dont have one, however, a couple of suggestions. McMillan motorsport in Hinckley were selling some bits on ebay recently and there ad said ‘other parts available’! (Ebay name mcmillan.motorsport)

Secondly, Bookatrack on ebay have lots of items listed, no rads seen as yet. (Ebay name bookatracklimited)

Maybe worth contacting them??

PS Re standard rads I think the copper core ones last better!

Thanks Ian, will make some enquiries, likely buy new from Radtec or Allicool unless club member/contact has one, hope all good with you

Im probably going to replace mine during my planned rebuild, and replace the ancient and heavy CovRad triple pass with a nice ali one.  On a more or less standard 1.8k Supersport, that is mainly used on road with the occasional track day, what would the collective recommend?

What is the difference and relative pros and cons of Radtec vs Alicool?

I’d stick with the covrad one - been a lot of reports of ally ones failing over the years. I think the bobbins are too stiff causing stress fractures.
