Aluminium Radiator for Big Engined E21

Post by TopCat »

Dear Forum members
I remember an earlier discussion concerning building oversize Aluminium radiators for E21s with larger engines
Now can't find the info!
Help?
I only ask having just picked up my Alpina B6 and having driven it 1000 kms back across Europe last 24 hours was very concerned with fluctating temp gauge.
Ferries are all booked up because of TT this week- so am leaving "Herman" with gf in Rutland - back next week to bring it to the Isle of Man- no speed limits and £10 classic road tax= bliss! My team will start with changing thermostat and sender- we will go from there!
But would like info on radiator.
Two other things on shopping list are a spare Alpina 15 rim and a genuine late model rear spoiler- any help gratefully received!

Take measurements and hose positions of your old radiator (or send it) to ah fabrications. They can make u a rad using 7mm core which is easily up to the job.

Ask for Alex and tell him Nas from the bmw e21 club sent you.
