BTW if you have the original foil stickers - you can harvest them (carefully) from the old radiator with good success. I've transplanted mine twice - they still look good. Use a good sharp scraper blade & go very slow when the rad is hot.

I too wanted a fresh direct fit Rad, can't say enough about these CSF Rads, outstanding
The Stickers I used here are not the ones that Roger in now selling, his look like the stock ones, I had these laying around and this 928 is not stock
Alan, thanks for the tip, will give it a try on an old non repairable unit w/ a bad core.

I have to say that even this radiator eventually did have a very minor leak just below the over flow nipple in the fins. Took it to a local radiator repair shop while I was doing a timing belt (and everything else around there job). They called and told me it was a loose oil cooler fitting. That was rather embarrassing to hear as I could have dealt with that.. Put everything back together and of course it still leaks in exactly the same place it did before. It's such a slow leak that I am in no hurry to go through the hassle of pulling it again and taking it somewhere else.
It was a few months between getting it back from the shop before I had the car running again..
No complains though as it's now 20+ years old.
