Is This Dual Core?? HELP!
i recently ordered a dual core radiator from radiators.com and made sure it was dual core. the guy even said it was for vtec only, manual tranny, si-r del sol vtecs.
list price was $228 and he gave it to me for $99.
now, my friend says it should be like 2" thick, but its 1" thick. i need to know if this is dual core. i'm a noob to this swapping **** so bare with me. the 1.5l radiator was only 5/8ths of an inch thick.
can someone post an image or two so i can make sure its right?

Look inside it where you would dump anti-freeze into it.. you should be able to see 2 different cores if it is duel core. this means you should.. i can't explain it.. just look inside it and if it has 2 flat metal shields goin down then it is duel.. if it has 1 then it's not.. You will only be able to see the tops of them since they travel down the length of the radiator.

So if I order a Del Sol dual core, it should be from the DOHC version, and it should be for a Manual transmission, correct?

$100 is a good price. I'll be needing one shortly. Not suer if I am getting it from radiators.com or the local Napa.

From Autozone ($100)
Entire shot:
Depth is about 1 1/4":
I don't think this is "dual core", but I don't know $hit I picked it up because if it's not I can return it and if it is well
What do you guys think? Dual or not?
I had the guy look up a radiator for a 96 Del Sol VTEC and the only thing he could search was "Del Sol"...... which showed this one radiator.

Someone said the radiator for the AT tranny Del Sol would be thicker. Any truth to this? And if so, what model specifically would you look for?
