Custom alloy radiator maker?

Hi, any recommendations for someone to make a custom alloy radiator for a BEC - thick core, good quality with a fairly quick turn around providing I provide all the dimensions?

Thanks,

Myd

My research seems to show the Rad is a common denominator coupled with the DC pump.... belts and braces change me thinks, just had a PM suggesting AH Fabrications so will give them a call tomorrow...

Get a copper one, as they can be repaired easier if damaged, and copper has better heat conductive properties than ali.

I used These guys who were very helpful and accommodating.

Thanks to all for the suggestions, have now resorted to a new alloy rad and a Stewart Components EWP

Cheers,

I am planning on running a 2009 Hayabusa motor with the stock rad. Am I missing something? Should the factor one not be adequate?
