All... now is your time to shine, and help the MEP community large with your input.
I have a source that will produce the 802/803 radiators for me in all aluminum, which should take away the issues of rust through deterioration!
1.) Is there anything you would change about the current design (fill neck angle is the most obvious to me)?
2.) Is there any benefit to adding an expansion tank off the side mounting of it, and delete the guard/bracket/overflow bottle in the current design? Or just leave as a drop in replacement with no other footprint changes?
2.) Would you be more likely to repair what you have, or replace with a new radiator, in the event of a failure?
Any other questions that come up through the course of discussion, please add them here. As much as these machines are a DIY affair after the leave the DRMO hands... seems more and more we have to bootstrap up parts too. The taps will run dry on things... and with the custom nature of some parts in these machines... gotta take matters into our own hands.
In my bones, I feel like this is one of those items that someone needs to step up and figure out (and it just so happens I need a radiator for an 802 thats leaking). Thanks for taking some time to put your two cents in, if you do.
