The Pantera Parts Connection Fluidyne system with shroud and fans runs
$1250.00 complete. We have never had one fail since running the No-rossion
water treatment additive to insure the Lucas electrical back-feed doesn¹t
turn the Aluminum radiator into an anode, which is the main reason for
aluminum radiators to fail. BTW Soft water works best for filling your
system against electrolysis. Larry
