Check the parts manual we have posted at the 620 site and also send an email to Tana to see if she has one. I also know that most good radiator shops can build you a new one for less than $200

The upullit in Damascus had a 520 in there a week ago that still had the rad....you might check on it.

The 510 rads are the same, but the 620's lower hose mount is slightly different....otherwise it will fit too.

Have you considered a swap to the vw radiator?  Only about $100 new? 

Is your core fixable?

The vw isn't a direct fit, but a handful of guys have used it.  Check the dime quarterly site for the write up on how it's done. 

Is yours chewed up?  They'd have to recore it and the cost wouldn't be worth it.
