601HP's looks more like what I have. I saw that one in the catalog Fluidyne catalog, but it couldn't be that simple can it? elmarichi's have a filler cap on the radiator,mine does not.

By the way, the cost is worth replacing it. By the time I pull it, ship or bring it to Denver and pick it up, plus repair costs, it's a wash. Plus I'd be down again for a week or more, and I don't think the repair will get the dings in the fins out. I'll get some measurements and see if it is the right size. It does have the support pin in the top so it's a good start.

Also, I got one of the radiator fin unbending tools. They're the same everywhere, I just happened to be driving by Harbor Freight and got it for $5.00. I declare it a failure for these radiators. The fins are short weave - maybe an inch. It takes the #12 but the blade is almost as big as the fin run between the stops. I think I probably bent as many as I was able to fix. I took a sander to it to sharpen the point but that didn't help much. FAIL! At least for this type of radiator construction.
