New Radiator

So I picked up a new radiator finally. However I didn't go with Koyo... or Fluidyne... I went with a "CoolRadiator". I know, I had never heard of them either, but I got a pretty good deal on it and couldn't pass it up. It's 2 1/16" thick and is an all aluminum design. $216 shipped to my door in 3 days, I was pretty impressed. Here are some pics for you radiator gurus, maybe you can tell me if I got a good deal or not. I realize I should've measured it from the side also.

Can you post a few more pics?

I was thinking about getting this radiator as well on Ebay.

They've been around a while, and the guy is having a huge sale to clear some inventory.

Does it have a nipple for the AST?

What would you like me to take a picture of, I don't know where the nipple for the AST would be located. I haven't researched the radiator stuff much yet, I'm just getting into that.

Nice radiator, do you know if it's a single or double pass? Also was any expoxy used on the core? In order for your rad to fit in the stock location make sure the overall width is 24 and the length is 16

No clue if it's single or double pass. I also don't know if epoxy was used. I'm going single with a FMIC so no worries as to making it fit.

The core itself is only 1.25 inches thick, per their description on Ebay. Check out the picture at the bottom, you'll see the huge difference between the core/end tank thicknesses.

It does have the nipple for the AST.

^ That's a different version than mine. They have a $150 and a $200, the $200 is the thicker of the two.

It kinda looks like the CSF radiators from radiatorworld.com. I have the thickest one from radiatorworld and it took some modifying of brackets to get it to sit right.
