Anybody used a Dewitt's radiator?

anybody tried one of these? I'm looking at putting a new radiator in my 1LE car and I like that the tanks look like a factory style tank not a fabricated tank, but wondering if anybody has run one with success

Sub'd, I'd be interested to know as well, as that's who I planned to get my next rad from, like the all aluminum, review of quality from other websites, and lifetime warranty.

Re: Anybody used a Dewitt's radiator?

I am looking at them as well. They have a combo unit that comes with dual SPAL fans and wiring. If you order the combo they put a sensor port in the radiator for you it says.

I would really love to see one in someone's car. I'm skeptical about not needing to modify anything.

Yeah it honestly looks like a really clean and classy setup. I am thinking about trying it with factory fans, and seeing how close to stock appearing it could be. Possibly even paint the tanks black

They offer a black finish on them from the factory.

Re: Anybody used a Dewitt's radiator?

I have one in the box waiting for a chance to install. Looks great. They put wings on the top for fitment to the stock upper support without molesting the rubber inserts. I can't imagine anyone else's radiator is going to fit better. Most just put a weld bead there and call it good.
