76 300d radiator

I am looking for a 1976 300d (w115) radiator and have so far been unsuccessful in my search. My oil cooler is still in good condition and the radiator needs to include a transmission cooler. If anyone has one or knows of a good place to buy one, please let me know.

Thanks,
Brian

If you cant find one, you may have luck getting a radiator shop to recore it.

I have considered going to a radiator shop, but the closest one is an hour away. I am still looking, but that may be my only option.

recoring is better than a used one, since the used old one would be in similar condition as yours. I had my 74 240D radiator recored and it came out like new, it works great.

Do you have a picture? I have 5 radiators; none for my W108.

Sometimes I feel like the shoemaker who's children are barefoot. I have thousands of Mercedes parts, and can't find the one I need for my 1973 when I need it.

Attached is a picture (hopefully). The core size is 16-7/16 x 20-1/2 x 1-7/8.

I made the mistake of using J B Weld to repair the leaking top seam a few years back when I should have just brought to a radiator shop.
