ISTR that any decent radiator shop can order a core in just about any size
you want including the number of rows of tubes. All they do is measure the
length and width that you need, number of rows you want and order it. When
it arrives, they pop the ends off of your old radiator, put your old ends on
the new tubes, and - presto - a new, heavy duty radiator.

Subject: Aluminum radiators
I've read where people have used volkswagen, GM
aluminum (shortened) and custom multiple-core
radiators in their spitfires.
I notice that most aluminum radiators run in the $300+
range and that's for a standard Ford/GM size (which is
bit pricey when you throw in the assundries).
Anyone have suggestions for a contemporary stock car
which uses an aluminum radiator that will fit a
spitfire's 22"-24" wide bracket, or some other set-up
(e.g. using a specific wider radiator with a different
bracket/mounting) to fit in the same space, and same
general locations for plumbing (upper left inlet,
lower right outlet)?
