Hi,

the original radiator of our 87 GN is leaking again and it has to be replaced in the near future.

I have soldered the end tank seam a couple of years ago(end tank, where are the fluid coolers located), but the seam is leaking again.

The original type radiator with oil and transmission coolers is too expensive for us and I will ask, which cheaper radiator is quite cost effective enough
(reasonable good) compared to the original style one?

The "cheaper" radiators usually do not include the engine oil cooler, but do I need it really?? I have read in some articles, that the external oil coolers shoud tot be used. Is it really so?

We drive GN only in summer times the temperatures being about +10- +25 celsius degrees.

So, how to proceed?

Thank you,

Pentti
