edge Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Can anyone recommend me a place to send my radiator for my 1968 corona. The top return has a crack in it and its a steel top and body. Would like to have the whole re-cored aswel. Plus there will be no chance of getting a new one and only a second hand one from japan which will probably cost the same reconditioning. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham S Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 We use a place call Guildford Rads.. They re-did one for my dads old mk1 transit camper/shed... Could get you a number tomorrow if you need but i'm sure a quick tinternet search will find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I tried once with a rad specialist down the road from my house, and they went through their stock and catalogues and said the Supra was one of the few cars that could not be re-cored.

Rob Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 It was in reply to this post Ok Ok I didn't quite see that bit...ferchrissakes its a forum about supras. Surely he should be asking on the Corona Forum instead of cluttering up the place with questions, I don't even know what a Corona is, the last time I saw the word corona it was on a sticky glass bottle being delivered by the pop-lorry.

Chilllllllllllllllllll Im asking as there are probably about 5 left in the country. I have got a guy in toyota spares thats been trying to find parts for months with no luck on the bits i really want. If i could read japanese i would be in luck. There are no real dedicated forums as such, as they are few and far between and with the lots of people on this forum who are car nuts i was hoping someone will have used a place a few times to reccomend. And the other forums who know a little about have come up dry on the info i want. The toyota corona was the 1st toyota in the uk so its the supra's great great nan. and as for cluttering up.

Andy-No-Knee Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I took my Soarer matrix core to Harts Radiators Ltd. They sorted it out perfectly for me and pressure tested it in front of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 I found a local place in bristol who seem to fit the bill and it saves me trying post the thing and worry about it getting damaged or what would be a nightmare is royal fail loosing it. Thanks for the help chaps. I'm quite surprised how many places there are that do this sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
