Considering the rarity of TA radiators, and the great new xpag ones from places like Moss for around $300 usd when on sale, I would just buy a new one from Moss, and sell the TA radiator.....there are folk out there that need one....   I considered converting when my TA engine became a backup to a Xpag.....not worth the hassle....just dropped in a Moss unit and life is good....

Hi Mike and others, Thanks for the advice. I didn t appreciate that the bottom pipe needs moving as well.  I ll see what is available. There must be quite a few TA rads about with all of the TA Q and K3 replicas being produced with XPAG engines in. I wonder if most of them use the aluminium rads available. Has anyone got views on reliability of these?

  Hi, I would second that suggestion of selling the TA rad and buying new (or refurbished) TC radiator. To do the coversion is quite a tricky rocedure and involves recoring and altering header tank and bottom one as well. Mike Amstrong, Lisburn,  TA,TC TD and others
