i believe hes looking for a place to buy JUST the core without end tanks. griffin will NOT sell you a bare core, however they will build you a full radiator to your specs. at leas the last time i checked...

Correct, all of the big name companies will not sell you the core but they will build you a radiator to your specs.

I had the same issue with my custom radiator. I got my core from ActiveRadiator.com. I had a dual pass, dual core radiator with -16 AN inlets built.

I drew mine up, sent it to Griffin, and turned out great. -16's also.

BTW Muck, you and I have something in common. Pics soon...

thats not the point of this thread though...
this is a fabrication forum, anyone regular on here should be able to fab up their own end tanks, so sending it off for someone else to do is just.... gay.

Thanks for the input guys but I have such little room for error. can't get a refund or exchange with custom built units which is why im looking for the core only. keep the input coming and thanks for your time.

I had a verrry tight space to work with. I made a styrofoam mock up to scale and then added my fittings to my layout.

BTW here's the company and link I looked at using years ago.
