That actually working for you? Ive always been concerned about the thickness of the aluminium and how well the mounts are positioned as Im familiar with how that can be a problem.
I guess the best thing is, if it leaks, it can just be TIG'd to fix it.
I put an all-aluminum, TIG-welded fabricated radiator in my '66 Polara a few years ago from an Ebay store that offered radiators in "standard" fitments for lots of older Mopars. I put "standard" in quotes because the radiators are correct dimensionally, but come with unfinished flanges that allow you to cut and drill for the numerous different flange arrangements that were used in different body styles and model years. I've been thrilled with it from top to bottom, its a very well-made piece. The original radiator had finally gotten to the point where the top tank would flex and break the solder joint to the core- I'd removed and re-soldered the tank numerous times as well as let a radiator shop try it. I blame newer solders- they're just not as tough (flexible and strong) as older solders were, IMO.
