250SL rad

[Benz Dr.]

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.

I have 230sl 4sp rad, not sure if the same?

[Benz Dr.]

Not the same.  Each model has a different rad.

I had 4 räder for sale...they were alloys, but they are sold now.

Mike.....

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

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).
 


All best,

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

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.

[Benz Dr.]

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.

$5,100 for a radiator? Yikes!

[Benz Dr.]

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