I see there are several alloy radiators available on Ebay for reasonable prices- has anyone fitted one and can comment on the quality? Do they have the correct bleed/drain points, the mount for the sensor, mounting for the stock 2 fan setup?

Do you have aftermarket fans+ shroud?

(presumably so you buy their kit) however a bit of work with a hacksaw and you can extend two of the brackets enough to make the stock fans fit.

Otherwise a quality bit of kit.
