Different from xr3's m8, am almost certain you cannot buy these anymore so you will have to get it re-cored m8 or buy an alloy rad

I got an airtec one from autospecialists.co.uk

Decent rad actually! And relatively cheap aswell, which always helps

Heard quite a few people say that. Was chatting to Chris Todd about them a the other week and he says the only negative he can find is they are heavy but they do the job at hand

The airtec wasn't that much heavier than the pace one which was on before. Much better build than the pace rad tho. Airtec also available in black now too. Next day delivery on it aswell, was for me anyways.

Radtec is another good rad, but it's pretty pricey.
