After my second Spectra radiator started leaking, I decided to go with an aluminum replacement. Since I have the wide 15x37" style, there is no aluminum replacement that is mass produced. I had this one custom-made and it arrived today:

I was referred to a company named Dubz Thermal Products after I had initially contacted Rodney Red. Total price came out to $1,000 shipped.

Beautiful Rad! Price is beyond what I'd be willing to spend, however I like the design! The 45 degree corner reinforcements are something Champion might consider. In my opinion, that's the weak point of their product. Structural flex results in leaks between tanks and cores.

Yeah, and actually the Spectra wide style radiators have 2 X-tie bars running across it that are supposed to prevent that flex, but right at the tank and core is where I kept getting leaks. He specifically wanted to do the corner reinforcements because of how wide it is.

looks like Dubz Thermal Products is mostly on Face Book.
