Same rad, different seller. But yes, Amazon is an alternative source to ebay sellers. I plan on picking one of these up shortly and will check the pricing on ebay vs Amazon.

Cheers.

Also noticed it has one row. Didn't the OEM D1 come with three and the D2 come with two?

Interesting that pix shows fittings for tranny and engine oil cooler. Would want to check with supplier. Seems like a lot of typos perhaps, including rows. Would not be able to retrofit old ones economically. Members who have purchased have not complained about lack of coolers, one guy did have to get three before shipping damage to side tanks was resolved. Here is pix of an internet based one from over 6 months ago, with fittings.

The oem D1 is brass / cooper, this aluminum lightweight has be used by a small number of members who posted about it. It is not as good as the $600 - 700 copper one, but a new aluminum one is better than an old leaky sludged up copper one. If you have an indy rad shop they can rod out, resolder, and hot flush one for like $75 near me. Re-core is more.

I am the guy who had to order 3 due to shippers damaging the tanks. Yes it is one core but it did have all the cooling fittings. It works great for me and was able to get it on sale. I have nothing against the older style rad, but i couldn't find one for under $800. Like someone else said in the forum, almost all cars today use aluminum/plastic rads today. Too me a new rad is much cheaper than a new engine. If i ever buy another classic Landy i am replacing the rad first thing.

Can you send me the info of this shop near you? I'm not finding much conveniently located near me so I'd consider shipping it to get this done.

Cheers.

The shop near me (Gary's Radiator Services, 208 Northside Drive, Statesboro, GA 30458 - ph 912-764-6324) is typical of small one/two man shops, out at the farm belt side of town, handling ag equipment, construction machines, bus radiators. Rover radiator is small potatoes to them. Don't know if this sort of shop would accept items shipped, or be able to handle shipping. But this kind of shop should be common in many areas.
