Hi there !

a little input in the debate.....

Apart from the material in the radiator, is there any internal difference in
the SA and German radiator ?
What I´m getting at is if the SA factory changed the cooling area or
waterflow speed to better suit their somewhat higher temperature compared to
Germany which might make a difference to the choice between the two,
depending on your location in the US
Might be worth checking  ??
