Converting TA radiator for XPAG

[jeffrey townsend]

Hi All, I have a TA radiator which needs recoring and converting for use with an XPAG. Can anyone suggest a firm in the UK who have experience of doing this. An idea of cost would also be helpful.

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,

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.

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?
