[DeTomaso] Radiators

Great advice Larry.
I once adapted an OEM radiator to make it a three pass unit with the inlet and outlets on different sides of the radiator.
Bending a coat hangar to use as a template, a quick trip to the local muffler shop bent me two pipes which I used for a decade and still have.
The price was tens of dollars instead of hundreds.

 Gerry - thanks for the info... Quite interested, although a
 little turned off by
  the fact that I would need new tubes under the chassis. A
 few years ago I bough
 t all new SS tubing
 
    I highly suspect there is no need for new
 under-car tubes.
 
    Because the stock radiator has both tubes
 running to the passenger
    side, and the radiator noted by Gerry has
 inlet/outlet on right/left
    sides, I believe only those two pipes
 leading to the radiator need to
    be replaced.
 
    Remember, there is a rubber-hose
 connection at the front of the
    under-chassis tubes that connects the two
 pipes going to the radiator.
 
    This is the case with the Ron Davis
 triple-flow radiator I have in 2511
    (right inlet, left outlet) and Dennis Q
 installed new pipes for that
    application.
