Hey Dennis,

Did you ever find the specs for your aluminum radiator?

Not really, just sent Griffin an oem one and allowed them 1" deeper [thicher] core........all plastic was done in double thick aluminum.............had to return it twice for redesign due to the method/angle of filler port.Asked them to build me one that would last 20 years minimum..... 15 years to go.

Do you think they still have the plans? I'd sure think about it if they did and the price wasn't too far out there.

They lost all custom plans years ago in the 2000 computer crash. A brand new oem radiater [not a cheapo malaysian knockoff] will work fine for 6 years or longer.

Wow! The first documented serious loss of data I have seen attributed to the Y2K problem.
