[DeTomaso] fluidyne radiator question

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Absolute Radiator (dot com)
Fluidyne aluminum radiator for Pantera
$392.78 delivered to my door.

That's cheaper than Summit for the same thing.
That's cheaper than Hall for a brass one (the stock replacement, not the 
angled one)

So currently for my purposes, that's a good inexpensive replacement.

>>> I got my fluidyne radiator from a cheap online source - saved a ton of moneyI searched the internet and found a racing supply shop that carried right angle rubber hoses that made the turns for me, so no special metal fittings needed. I searched the internet and found a pantera guy who told the story of some chrysler/jeep sensors that will fit in the radiator holes. They were cheap at auto parts store, but they never seem to get hot enough to turn on the fan. I ended up putting a temp sender in the upper thermostat metal pipe hole that then activates my fans when that temp reaches 190. I got a couple of electric fans, i think from Spal or something, not too fancy, straight blades, and I took some strips of aluminum and made thin long brackets that have right angle bends and mount the fans to rivets I put in the top and bottom of the radiator - the top and bottom are just metal plates. just be sure not to drill into the cooling tubes below the plates (easy to be careful her
>   e). I use no other shroud and my car never overheats. Although I did lots of my own designing for the pantera, not all of my ideas worked out (see my fuel injection frustrations last year). But this was not too expensive and looks great!!! way cheaper than $1000 for whole setup pre made, and I did it myself! justin
