Title: 250SL rad
Post by: Benz Dr. on August 16, 2018, 15:39:41

I'm looking for a used 250SL rad. Condition not that important as long as the tanks and side brackets are in good condition. I can have it re-cored but would also look at one that was ready to go.

Not the same.  Each model has a different rad.

Mike..... :D ;D 8)

rad and Räder ...
That was a good one from you. :D

Well...., I think this is not what would please here our Benz Dr.
He is looking for a rad(iator) for the 250 SL, not for wheels/rims (rad = Rad = German term for wheel/rim).

It was a "tongue-in-cheek" remark.   ;D I had an idea what Dr Benz was looking for 8)

Some times the language the professionals in forums use is hard to figure out for the not-so-involved.
Years ago, I was in a motorcycle forum and a guy complains about problems with his "mag". I had no idea what he was talking about until much later.

He would have been talking about his ignition system. Very familiar with mags used on old tractors and stationary gas engines.

In the mean time; still needing a 250SL radiator.

Thanks for the info. I think I found one locally for about the same amount and probably less. This one has been rebuilt but I know the vendor and the exact price.

They're considerably less in Canada - like 25% of that price. I found one at any rate.
