Looking to replace the radiator. Small leak that I can't find.

Please suggest a trusted radiator vendor or manufacture.

I've tried pinching the 'clips' on the sides of the radiator. Worked once, but leak came back.

Tried several sites, all I found is eBay and Amazon.

PeachParts does not have the radiator.

Even Car-Parts.com (searching auto salvage) does not have radiators.

Thanks

1986 560SL

Google it. Found BuyAutoParts.com with one for $350. Google also shows pics of several other suppliers who supposedly have one.

Luck.

Check with AZ Radiator in Trenton, NJ. Joe and Gary are excellent old school cooling system experts, third generation family owned. Replace the automatic transmission cooler hoses at the same time as the radiator.

I cross-referred the MB number to Nissens. No regrets.

ditto on the nissens, I've had one in the 1984 300D turbo for quite some time and no issues. I believe nissens makes quality products.
