Rusty,

While not cheap, there are quite a few water-cooled motorcycles around.  Maybe there’s a motorcycle radiator would fit your needs.  Some are curved, which may help facilitate installing in confined spaces.  They have to be sturdy to survive very long in a motorcycle.  Just a thought.

Greetings again,

 

In your searching around for radiator parts, has anyone seen a small core, similar to the size of an evap core?  I can't imagine what it would be made for, but I'm giving at least a little thought to replacing my radiator evap cores with something more durable. 

 

BTW, yes I know they've been tested successfully for water, but I also know of some that have leaked.  I'm at the point now where I don't really trust them, and just don't want to fly with the constant thought that a leak might develop before I get home.  At the very least, I'll probably end up remounting mine, to add some rubber isolation, but that means new ducts, so I might as well pursue the option of starting over with something different.  

 

Cheers,

Rusty (spamming the list today)
