Hey Steven,
I just had my TR3 radiator recored with a 5 row core (no crank handle).
the core slipped right in and looks wonderful. I haven't finished installing
it yet because SWMBO is making me put in a hardwood floor in the master
bedroom. I went for the 5 row (instead of 4) because I do a lot of driving
in very hot weather.
Good luck.
