It you want a better than stock radiator and are willing to spend some additional money, then Dewitts radiator might be for you. Many posts about their product and never a bad comment. Read some of the posts and check their site.

I probably could have avoided trimming the cushions if I had not laid a seal in the bottom of the lower shroud to seal the unit and help prevent any vibration. It was just a strip of foam weather strip that the rad could rest on. That did move the rad in the mounts, slightly.
Sorry, the price was too good to pass up. Its been a good upgrade.

FWIW, In an email to ECP, they admitted they weren't the same as DeWitts. Their explanation of the difference was they didn't use stamped parts!

If I remember my posts/links correctly, I have to ask why you chose the higher-priced ECP option over the Champion option? ECP has no phone/contact information too -- which is a red-flag for me.

I just wish I had been patient enough to polish the thing before getting it under the shrouds...damn it was pretty !
