Rad for 300SDL grey market?

I am searching the planet for a new rad for my 87 300SDL. The dealer says none are available, anywhere, and I have been unable to locate any for sale from any warehouse or online parts seller in North America. The (plastic) tank on top cracked at the neck, as many do, and after several patches, and over about 2 years, eventually "exploded" crossing the Rocky Mountains ... a huge hole about 6" long, 2" wide.
the VIN is WDB CB 2509HA348320
the Part number for my rad is 126 500 5303

any ideas??
thanks!
andy

It may be Grey Market to him, but W126 diesels are USA only, do not know if that includes Canada but there is no such thing as a euro 300SDL. America would be THE place to look for a radiator if there was one.
