Hi Doug,
Spot on with your observations. I have added 3 Moss radiators back in 2008, (cars were vandalized and radiators stolen for scrap in 2007) These were Moss from the first batch, and even those all worked well. The SA needed an original of course.
Haggerty took over 2 days to send me a check for $35k to cover the damage.....I only asked for and documented $26k, and when I inquired about the extra $9k, they said, "aren't you worth something for your labor to install them?" Great company to work with.....
Cheers, Lee Jacobsen, Dearborn, MI TA2969 Tickford, TC0780,

Hi Jeff, I have fitted and sold a number of the Moss radiators. The problems highlighted with fit and lack of tabs on the top was definitely problematic with Moss radiators. However, that was the previous batch and stated issues have been corrected with current stock. I consider the radiators spot on. Also be aware, I do not know of any other source. I used to rebuild originals but very labor intensive and costly. So, I recommend a new radiator vice trying to rebuild. Exception: TA, I still rebuild the TA radiators.

[b]Subject:[/b] [mg-tabc] Moss radiator TC Hi All,
If you have bought a new Moss radiator could you confirm:
Is quality good, did it fit to chassis and headlamp brackets well and did rad surround fit to it correctly? If you think there may be a better source for a new radiator could you confirm please. All opinions appreciated.
The rad is for TA1957 which will have an XPAG engine.
