Hi all,
I walked out of my office at 2:30, and the outside temp was over 41C (106F) hottest it has been so far this year. Not shockingly the temp gauge started rising quickly even though I drove the care real easily. Also, taking a few measurements, the radiator is cooling the water, but only by a few degrees, not shocking considering the temp, but that is what it is going to be like here for the next few months. So, I think I am going to have to bite the bullet and get a new / better radiator.
I could just get the original recored but since it is the smaller style Triumph had at the time, even in perfect condition, it probably is undersized for this kind of heat.
My though was to get something like this:
radiator
this should be fairly easy to adapt, and would fit in without to much of problem. I would just need to make up some sort of mounting brackets.
As a different option, I could get something like a radiator out of a Corrola or some other modern car with a somewhat larger engine, at least for temporary use. That would also give me a bit more capacity.
Any thoughts?
