John Cousins Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 If anyone looking for a Radtec RC7 radiator 3 are available on the Radtec eBay site for £225 with free delivery. Price shown is £250 but they offer 10% discount to L7C members. I just bought one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR400D Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Out of interest John, are Radtec the OE supplier to Caterham? The reason I ask is that my R400D has what looks like their R300 radiator but when I built the car the first two radiators I received from CC leaked.I gave up and had one repaired by a specialist, but was not impressed by the quality of the OE. Looking at Radtec's site, I'm guessing they didn't make the OE but wonder who does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cousins Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 I don't know Scott - was looking for recommendations on this forum and Radtec seemed to have good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_ASH Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I don't think Radtec are the OEM supplier, from memory all theirs are fully welded Ali items. The Caterham ones people had issues with going back a few years had plastic end-caps and looked a lot more like the kind of thing you'd find on a tintop, looking at those on the web parts site it looks like they have rads from several suppliers.Back in the dark ages there was a Radtec bulk buy on here, I obtained one for my first Seven, it was a beautiful work of art almost too nice to fit to the car! They aren't completely infallible though and I have heard of the odd manufacturing faux pas, obviously issues are few and far between and they will always sort out problems.

Roadsport06 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I think they are OEM for Koenigsegg. Not the standard Caterham rad. I fitted my radtec a few days ago after 11 years with the original. They were very helpful and their work is like pieces of art. Hopefully I get a number of years out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Stone Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I replaced my ali rad last year. Bought from Redline. It is made by PMA Group who seem to be make OEM parts.Was a exact replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR400D Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 The ones I had with my R400 were all alloy, visually very like the Radtec R300. I'm guessing not one of theirs because the quality of the OE is questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_ASH Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Insomnia has allowed me time to compare pictures of rads on both websites more closely and it does look like one or two of them are the same or very similar others differ a lot so looks like they come from many manufacturing sources.
