Give Bob a ring at www.conceptracing.co.uk

He makes rads for F1 teams so might be able to help

For a bike? - if so I'd check how much a new one is as a recore was a lot more expensive than I expected - try circa £350..........

So I spoke to Elliot's in cricklade who imported most of the grey bikes back in the day to see if they could get a Honda part... But they aren't available. Apparently the £100 ish rads available are cheap Chinese parts and don't last very well at all, they advise against them. I have been in touch with concept racing and will get a quote next week.

Anyone used cheap Chinese rads and have good or bad experience of a specific supplier?

Ya.
