Junkyard Radiators

After hitting a deer with my 240D couple of years ago, installing a junkyard Mitsubishi radiator made all the difference in the world - vastly improved engine cooling in Summer months and never ran cold in Winter either. And the Mitsubishi rad was a perfect fit that even left room for the oil cooler.
i found this quote to be quite interesting...Because my 1984 300 SD is running a lil too hot. Around the 95 c during normal driving and very cold weather. And I found out that doing a radator flush, doesn't get rid of all the metal and sediment in a bad radiator. Anyways, Does anyone know of any high quality junkyard radiators that you can put into a 1984 300 SD?


Thanks,
Tk
