    Re: 70 LT-1 has a copper radiator

    Thats why Patrick, John et al suggested you buy the new copper core from Dewitts and reuse the two correct original copper tanks. That way you will have a complete copper radiator that should get 100% of the judging points and will perform perfectly as well.

      No, but you can buy a copper replacement. It's not 100% correct, but it fits.
      Or, you use just one end tank from it along with your correct right end tank, and the DeWitts core.

      But, that's a lot of $ for a few points. I'd install a replacement copper radiator, modify the top and bottom channels if needed to mimic the stock one, and live with it. Or, have your old right end tank installed on it and realize that it's not completely perfect.

      That's life, you know. Not completely perfect.
