I bought an aluminum radiator (from Griffin Radiator in Piedmont SC) for the 
TVR.  It was expensive, and it works better than stock.  I'd say you'd take 
a big chance buying something advertised as aluminum for near the same price 
as a recore.  Aluminum, by the way, doesn't transfer heat as well as copper, 
so unless you go bigger/thicker, you save nothing but a little weight.
