Santa Monica Radiator Works, Did a Great job with my Rad / AC Setup, considering it's 1/2 Chevy 1/2 Mazda... maybe give "Chuck" a call and tell 'em I sent you...

For future reference to those that choose to benefit from the search function.

Most radiator shops won't work on Aluminum. Learned this myself when I recently picked up a slightly damaged (filler neck needed replacement) Koyo on the gamble I could get it fixed. I'm in Chino Hills, so have numberous Radiator Shops around me from Walnut to Pomona to Chino. Thought getting a place to fix it would be as easy as a walk in the park. Nope, none I could find locally would work on Aluminum.

Finally I was refered by G&J Aircraft and Competition

(a great place to get some custom oil lines made up as well as every nut and bolt you can imagine including the every elusive EGT Bung for a downpipe)

about Fontana Radiator on Arrow in Fontana. Got it done with 24 hour turn around and picked it up yesterday with MrFuzzy. Fair prices. Their contact info is:
