New Shorty Aluminum XR Radiators in Stock!

[merkurdriver]

Are you gonna put in a M22 bung at the bottom like the XSpower stuff or something different?

Nope. That M22 bung is pretty useless in an XR / 2.3T application. This will be a 100% new design, 1989 XR4Ti specific radiator.

Not yet. I try to keep the site updated with ETA's on parts in production: http://merkur.50megs.com/photo2_2.html

Well... those didn't last long. 89 shorty rads now sold out.

Sounds like there's a demand. How many did you have made?

5

2 already sold. -=o)

[John Brennan]

If I didn't already have that custom, one-off special you made for me (thank you ), I probably would have been the third.
Seriously, though, I'm sure you could probably sell more.

Split a run of 10 between 89 XR and Scorpio. 5 89 XR gone in 2 days, Scorpio ones will probably last 5 years

[Esteban]

Make 5 more

[merkurdriver]

Make 5 more

I might split another run and do half 89 rads and half 85-88 rads.

FYI 1985-1988 style shorty rads back in stock at www.merkurdepot.com

[merkurdriver]

Another limited run of 1989 shorty radiators are in stock again as well at http://merkur.50megs.com/photo2_2.html

89 radiators have been further refined; the coolant fill port changed to a 17mm bead rolled tube for a more snug fit for the hose and upper tabs have been added to support Sierra Cosworth or aftermarket fan installations. (The factory dual Sierra Cosworth fans are a bolt on affair with these tabs and mounting locations )

Looks nice, and at a fair price. Am I mistaken for thinking that this looks like an intercooler core?
