M38 radiator
WANTED: Radiator for M38. Not sure what will fit, maybe MB or CJ? The engine has been swapped for a HENRY J 4 cylinder, changed to 12v, don't know if the RG/flywheel is different and there are a lot of other unknowns. Thanks.

Re: M38 radiator
The CJ-2A Bottom Mounted Radiator is a direct fit, just a thinner core, tho. I believe that some early CJ-3A can be found with Bottom Mount radiator.
The side mount Radiators are attached to the grill and do not have the bottom studs.
You can install a CJ-3A Side Mount Grill if you can find one.

Re: M38 radiator
Sorry to say it has a pinhole where there is a flat spot in the cooling fins. I got it with a bunch of A1 stuff . It is the correct radiator though, and any respectable radiator shop could easily restore and repair it though. ~ Scott~ BTW, thats a heavy little radiator!

Re: M38 radiator
Made the deal and it arrived today via UPS. You're right it's heavy, 30 pounds on the shipping label. Thanks.swampy wrote:Sorry to say it has a pinhole where there is a flat spot in the cooling fins.
