Default Ron Davis Radiators OK

I've installed a Ron Davis radiator in my C4 about 7 years ago.
It finally failed.
They discounted the replacement.
The replacement had an inexplicable failure.
They fully warranteed the replacement radiator.

Good Guys.

I put a Ron Davis radiator in my bracket car 3 years ago. after 7 months at the divisional finals in Vegas, my radiator started leaking between rounds. Pulled the thing in the pits. One of the tubes facing the motor just split. Nothing hit it, nothing stressed it in the middle of the radiator. Just a defect in the tube. I epoxied the thing and was able to continue with the race. I still use the radiator today. Not real happy with what happened.

I put one in the 57 Chevy pickup about 13 years ago, and it's still going strong. Gotta keep up with the anti corrosion formula..............it works.
