Sure, Wayne
Here is a complete fix for cooling problems. Although Modine may not
make the described radiator core, the dimensional specifications given
will do the job without the THICK aluminum cores. As usual, it has been
on the TigersUnited.com site since Sept., 2001.
Photos and Patterns for horn blockers, air guides, etc are also shown.
