Paul / Builders,
I watching TV yesterday (OK, forgive me but I did work on the MiniMax 4
hrs which is about as long as I can work; I'm 5 weeks out from a rotator
cuff repair) and tuned in to a show called NASCAR GARAGE.  They were
showing a new style radiator that uses a single 36mm tube to replace 2
24mm tubes.  I thought to myself that maybe the NASCAR guys are catching
on - thinnner is better - creates less drag!  Anyway, the company
building these for the NASCAR guys was CR Racing, which is one of the
companies mentioned here earlier.  Isn't this the company that will
build custom radiators for a reasonable price (I think $300 was
mentioned)? Just an interesting tidbit that I thought that all of you
who were busy working on your airplanes would be interested in.

Ken,

  I ordered my radiator from CR Racing a couple of weeks ago. Its due to
arrive in the next week or so. I'll let you know how it looks when I get
it. It ended up costing me $360. The inlet and outlet required some custom
bends which added to the cost. Without the bends it would have been about $280.
