So...someone built a modern type of radiator for our old beast.
These types should provide years of service. But, I am not a big fan of plastic end caps and tubes. From experience, the plastic gets thin and brittle. Also, you can also get some end tank separation.
Just make sure you use new clamps, do not over tighten, and that the hoses are in good nick. Most importantly, you must consistently service the coolant and use a water temp reducer to help with longevity.

I have seen volvo thin *** radiator end caps seperate etc. judging by the molding of the end caps and reinforcments used to handle the bolt on upper and lower plates its seems extemely strong.
SInce the caps are not only pressed but bolted together I imagine this may help.

I just did an install of one of these for a customer to replace the aftermarket
(Proline I think?) he purchashed a year ago and had nothing but problems with.
It was a Nissens Radiator and purchased from Rovers North..
It fit perfect. No problems with cooler lines, hoses, or fan shroud.
Don't forget to replace the 4 oil and engine cooler line orings ESR1594L
