Default WTB - 86 951 radiator

Went out for a cruise down the coast yesterday (it's been 100+ here) and noticed my temp started rising. Thought it was just due to the record breaking temps...mmmm but NO! it kept climbing. As it it turns out there's a crack in the upper drivers side between the 2 hoses. Pressurized the system today and it was spraying out all over the place!!

BTW- an S2 rad works just as well...

Thanks guys!!

Let me make sure the new one I just put in isn't leaking... and you are welcome to the one I removed "while I was in there" replacing all my hoses...

If I am a go, I will repost price shipped tomorrow after I make sure my new one isn't leaking...

I have a brand new one in the box. Purchased for my 86 project that turned into a parts car.

Looking around, looks like $400 new at paragon, vertex, whatever. Take 25% off.

$300. I'm in PDX so shipping shouldn't be too bad.
