Subieguy Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 My 84 Brat is in bad need of a new radiator. Is there any chance I can find a new one that is not set up for a transmission cooler? I sure don't need a tranny cooler. Help! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever Victorious Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 A quick check of Schucks/Checker/O'Reilly shows 3 different brands of new radiators available for my '82 BRAT. However... http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=PLI%2D433698&N=700+4294925045+4294907499+4294899824+4294924500+115&autoview=sku is the same radiator, and indicates an integrated trans cooler. Just a thought... it doesn't actually have to be hooked up, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyewdall Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 The last new one I bought for an EA81 was set up for the transmission cooler, but I just ignored those ports on the side I think. Or capped them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subieguy Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 I know it does not need to be hooked up but why have something I don't need. It did not come with one from the factory because it came with a manual tranny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Been a few years ago now, like 4 or 5. But I called a few places that listed radiators for the EA-81, all of which had the cooler in them. Was told that they only carried that type, to reduce inventory. I can understand that. If you don't need the cooler, just cap the ends, or install a short piece of hose to keep debris out of there. You really don't need to do anything to the connections though, and can just leave them open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aba4430 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Try Rockauto as well. They carry two brands at @115 and @120. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
