Agree wholeheartedly, although I opted for twin push fans with great
results. An aluminum high eff rad would not only cool better, but weigh a
whole lot less. The less weight is even more significant b/c of the
location ahead of the front wheels. If anyone can find one that fits the B
and the shroud, let us know.
