He did. Timing wasn't going to work out. I found him an alternative close by. Thanks.

Hi all,

Was that made in Venezuela by any chance? I found an NOS radiator online a couple of years back that was and replaced my leaking one with it. From back when they were capitalists with a functioning economy. I guess the Sierra had been popular there.

Cheers

It looks a lot like the Sun Valley Performance full size radiator that came on my 1989 XR. It was only attached at two locations, one bolt each side. After a number of years it developed stress fractures on the side tanks and started to leak. Swapped it for the MD shorty and have had zero issues. So when you mount the full size aluminum radiator make sure there are more than just the two side tabs holding it in place. You don't want it to move even a little bit and put additional stress on those side tanks.

All of the CX racing radiators are made in China.
They're made very well, I've bought 2 cars that had them installed in them and they're very nice.
