‘80 300SD… Need Radiator
 
Trying to locate new, or good used radiator for a 1980 300SD.

Thanks
Bill

Because of the year of your S Class, you would be best off to find a radiator shop in your home town area that will take your old one and recore it or make up another one! That is your "new" least costly alternative, really.;)

re-coring an old plastic tanked radiator doesnt make sense to me- it seems the highest failure rate on these IS the plastic tanks. I believe there is a company in MN which makes the tanks, though.

Ryan, received your PM and replied to it but not sure it went through? If not, suggest you send your phone number and I'll call.

thanks
Bill

Bill- A friend of mine used a 123 radiator in its place since no one apparently makes aftermarket replacements for the 116 SD. Some modifications needed but it works great.
