I bought one for my SVX, looks identical to the original, and have had zero issues with it...

I've bought most of mine through "radsus"

If you phone in the order the guy who takes your order actually owns an SVX.
I had to return one after it failed about 10 months later, and they sent me a new one after inspecting the failed one.
I believe that they are just about as good as a stock SVX radiator.

But MUCH cheaper!

+1. I had one leak where the plastic tank met the fins. They allowed me to buy the second one and just return the first one for a credit. So far its been about 2-3 years and still working fine.

Re: eBay Radiator. Any one here ever bought one?
I have 1 in each of my 92s. Look and work great. I think I payed $139.00 each. Go for the $112.13 one, they are probably all made in the same factory in China.

I too installed one last spring and haven't had any issues yet. Great fitment, OEM replica.

Great. Thank you guys for all the input and reassurance.
I appreciate all those who took the time to reply.
Now if the weather cooperates. Maybe next week when it gets a little warmer, and by warmer I mean somewhere around mid 20s or so. LOL

Re: eBay Radiator. Any one here ever bought one?
Does anyone know where I can get one here i Europe. Prefere Denmark, sweeden or Germany.

Why does it have to be so ridiculously expensive to ship from and to the US?

Might have something with the cost of fuel to get something from there to here, and vise-versa

(I wish it were cheaper to ship too...)

Or the size of the box needed to protect the radiator.
