Hi all,

I had my Javelin radiator re-cored by my local radiator company, Arrow Radiators about five years ago. They mentioned that the Javelin uses a still-available stock core. This comes in two sizes, one with three rows of tubes and the second with five. I opted for the five row type and it completely cured my overheating problems. She is rock steady at 75degrees C on the hottest days. Previously, she would be boiling if allowed to!

I realise that some may argue that air throughput is the critical point, but I can only speak from experience.

All the best,

David
