Default AK1085 Radiator

Well the time had come to change or repair the radiator.
I removed the stock unit which also happens to be a Serck unit.
I am told these were custom built and this not readily available. That said it was a close match to a Fluidyne just 1/2 inch shorter. The problem there is mounting pins don’t reach thus not an answer.
Also because of the additional DOT supports to the frame it had to be removed out the bottom versus like a Cobra our the top.
Well I found a local shop that did radiator work and soon found it was a recore.
Upon PU they said the core needed to be made custom as it’s a odd size.
Either way it passed psi testing and looks great.
If i get another 35years out of it I will be happy as it will hopefully be my sons problem then.
