Does anybody know a good place to get a new radiator upgrade for a 1997 6A13TT Auto?

I noticed my radiator had a small leak so might as well upgrade rather than replace. Does anybody know a good place to get one?

Cheers

Search for Gopher or Koyorad and you should find what you're after otherwise.

I have a gopher requires a bit of trimming on fan shrouds to fit. And relocating the pwr steering cooler. Also i recommend putting in a trans cooler while your at it. Considering everything will be off.

The Gopher radiator went in without any modifications and was pretty straight forward.

  1. Basically just drain the radiator.
  2. Undo the four bolts that hold the radiator down at the top.
  3. Undo all the coolant and auto oil plumbing.
  4. Disconnect the electrical supplies to the fans
  5. Gently pull the radiator out (with the fans attached)
  6. move the fans form the old radiator to the new one
  7. reverse step 4 to 1

Similarly, I fitted what I believe was a Golpher I bought from @Kenneth (I could be wrong!) and it fit without modification. One or both top mounts wouldn't line up with both their bolt holes, but luckily it was wedged in there pretty tight haha ;)
