Leaking Koyo Radiator

Has anyone out there dealt with an Ebay seller named "sportsparts2000"? I had bought a Koyo radiator from them for my 87 Sport Package version in May. It was working fine for about 3 weeks before springing a leak. The leak is coming from between 2 tubes right in the middle of the core. There is no road debris damage to the radiator; besides, it was installed behind the AC condenser.

Here is my problem. Now that "sportsparts2000" has his $300, he is not answering my e-mails regarding getting a replacement radiator from Koyo. I feel it had a defective tube that let go after only a few weeks of use. I managed to track him down by phone but he would not give me an address over the phone, his claim was I need to use the e-mail system to get a warranty return address (which he conveniently avoids answering). I still have the original carton which shows an address as 10445 Markison Road, Dallas, TX. Does anyone know if this is their proper address. I don't want to send my radiator to a black hole and be out of all that shiny aluminum. Also, I can't seem to find a factory rep address for Koyo. Does anyone have one from them....I will even take my chances with them.

That sucks man. I got a defective Koyo once with a similar issue. It almost costs me a brand new engine with under 700 miles on it(the drive from teh engine builder to my house) when the leak sprung and the coolant dumped out all over the road. I bought mine from a legitimate store and was able to send it back and get a replacement.

It sucks your having difficulty getting a replacement from the seller. I don't buy **** off ebay for this very reason.
