WD 45 Radiator

[GregoryKS]

Where is the best place to get a replacement radiator that fits and lasts for WD-45? What should one pay for one?

Can't help you with pricing beyond what you can find by looking at the vendors advertising on line. If you have a local radiator shop, where construction and trucking companies go for example, check out getting your radiator re-cored. There are a lot of posts around different forums from people dis-satisfied with fit and/or the quality of the aftermarket radiators they got. I plan to go that way when I need to replace one. That way I have someone to talk to that can say more than - that's what the catalog says - if there is a problem. Nothing is going to be cheap. JMHO

My experience with an aftermarket rad such as you're looking for is not with quality as that seems fine but the upper pipe outlet is slightly angled (sideways) on your original rad
and the aftermarket one has it coming at right angles which means you can't use the original hose. It took several tries from Napa before I could get a flex hose that would do the
job. Of course it's possible that some aftermarket radiators have it the way it should be. Jim's advice is good if you can get a fair price for having your old one recored. I paid
somewhere around $300 for the one I got.
