repu radiator and oil cooler wanted
hi guys,
I am after a complete original radiator to suit reconditioning and fan shroud. a repu oil cooler would also be handy.
The only issue is I would need you to box up each item and post it to me in Sydney Australia.
If you can help with this please contact me.
jddawes@bigpond.com
thanks in advance.
Dean

I salvaged a radiator from an rx3 and adapted it to my 74 repu years ago. No problems with anything there, including the oil cooler. I don't remember if I had to move brackets or not but it wasn't much or I would remember a hassle with it. That might help you acquire something locally.
Good luck!

thanks guys.
the rx3 route still needs to be modified.
I would prefer one i can have recored locally and bolt straight in.
The fan shroud is the most important part to me.
it will look factory if i use the correct parts.
The aussie guys want 3 times as much for rx3 stuff if you can find it.
I have put an offer on the ebay radiator but it is missing the shroud.
To to guys who have messaged me cheers.
I will be in touch.

I have a REPU radiator that needs to be recored (it has a leaky seam at the bottom).
I have a good condition fan shroud from a '77 REPU. The 'caution' sticker is peeling a little around the edges.
I have an REPU oil cooler. The brackets are a little bent and some fins could use straightening. Doesn't leak. The lines might need to be replaced as the rubber I'm sure is old.
Building a box to house all three won't be a problem. I just don't want to commit to this unless you serious.
Let me know.

I have an update for you. Turns out the oil cooler is from an RX-4/RX-5/Cosmo. I think it will fit. I don't want to dig out the REPU radiator until you respond. At which point I can compare how the RX-4 oil cooler fits on the REPU radiator and determine whether it will work or not.

There's just one of me as far as I know.
Ok I've got good news and bad news. The bad news first: my email doesn't work on my computer anymore so it will be a day or two until I can get to a computer where it does work. The good news is I found a genuine REPU oil cooler! That means I have a complete REPU setup to sell, minus oil lines and radiator hoses (which I'm sure you can make locally).
I'll get to my email in a day or two. Otherwise you can say what you want publicly if it's urgent.
