GPI Radiators

Just wondering if anyone has used one of these radiators? They seem to be the only ones around.
Thanks,
Del

ive used a few chinese ones in my cars and had 2 of them fail !

there are some threads about quality over on the 350 side

think its hit and miss . some people they work fine for and some they leak

Hi I've used the GPI radiator for about twelve months with no issues.
Cheers Ron.

Received the GPI radiator. Like all aftermarket parts, I've had to slot some holes. All the welds look good. The only thing is the top outlet is the wrong angle. But overall the rad is a workable piece.

Here's the GPI rad which I had to modify the top hose for the Autometer temperature gauge.
