i need a reasonable radiator for an amazon estate and two window winder spacers and a lock button if anyone has any of these thanks

What year is your car? The early estates/wagons had a radiator with the blind chain set up on it. Mid year cars had no blind chain tube and the later cars had the pressurized radiator set up.

The window crank spacers (black donuts) also came in two styles. The early ones have a curved step in the outter profile while the later ones are straight sided.

I have both the window crank donuts (both early and late) and lock knobs.

I don't know that it's worth me trying to mail a radiator across the pond but I have mailed stranger stuff...

Have you looked at a new rad from Brookhouse? I found it harder and harder to get them re cored. The metal on the tanks is going brittle from sheer old age; consequently cores are getting difficult to find. The new ones are similarly priced to what a quality re core was costing me.

the car is 65 so i think its a pressurised system as it also has a 75 ish b20 engine in it and the window winder spacers are straight sided

I had mine re-cored in Dundee and cost about £145. I have a couple of old ones but they would need attended to. Not sure if it worth the trouble for you plus the postage. Might be cheaper at the end of the day calling on Simon.
