    Default Ebay Alloy Radiators any good??

    my second set of radiator has just developed a leak.... i was thinking if I should get a replacement one from a SV21 Camry (wrecker) or alternatively get an alloy radiator of ebay for something like $160. have any of you had experience with the alloy radiator off ebay??

    Ebay's are sweet. Got a friend that's been using one in his track car and he's had no trouble over the last two years.

    86 radiator has the posts on the top that are held by brackets, ae71 rads bolt down the sides to the radiator support.. if you wanna save the money you can just buy an 86 rad and make up some little brackets to hold it solid.
