Most recycling facilities ("junk yards") are computerized now and I assume that they are happy to sell to anyone as long as you can pay by credit card and include shipping charges. The same would be true if you want to try for a new one. We used to have facilities to "re-core" radiators which had corroded, but I don't know if anybody bothers with that anymore, or if it would be available there.


I prefer the original radiators because copper/brass transfers heat better than aluminum, is more corrosion resistant, and, of course, that's how they were originally designed, so there's less chance that something won't be compatible. Also, I would think that the original would be less expensive. That said, the job canalso be done in aluminum, and it probably will save some weight, which besides being an advantage in performance and mileage, might save you on shipping costs.


PS: I suppose you might be reluctant to send your money over here without any assurance that the supplier is legitimate. If you find a source here, let me know and I'll do what I can to confirm them, but, of course, I am not able to provide any guarantees. I am located near Chicago.
