1998 S70 T-5 All Aluminum Radiator
Does anyone know where I can purchase an all-aluminum radiator for a 1998 s70 T-5? No Plastic as this is the fourth radiator.

i don't know of any tanks that are all-aluminum.
ARD made a few as a test run once but i don't think they ever had them in regular production. i kind of wonder how they fared, since the mounting system was designed for plastic tanks. i don't know if i'd expect it, but i wouldn't be too surprised if there ended up being issues with fatigue failure, thermal expansion, chassis flex &c when switching from a plastic to an aluminum tank.
what brand have you been using? unless you've driven half a million miles, four radiators is quite a lot, even with the plastic tanks.

@ eaglehawk67
4 radiators sounds real crazy. I spoke w/lucky from ARD and i asked him why they never put more aluminum rads in production and he said they didn't like the quality of it. Try ordering a Nissens rad from fcpeuro.com. They have a lifetime warranty on all of their products no matter how old or what condition
