Review on 🔥 Spectra CU1998 Complete Radiator by Fred Maki

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Poor screw hole alignment, thread

This was a second attempt at a cheaper replacement hoping the Spectra brand might be better than the ones I've tried before that leaked. It doesn't look like a leak yet, but installation was quite frustrating due to issues with both the base frame screw holes and the fan cover screw holes. First, a support frame arrived so bent that the holes used to attach the radiator to the car were misaligned. I had to remove the radiator mount from this side, straighten it, and then put it back in to match the holes. Then when I went to install the fan shroud I found 2 screw holes that may have been filled with paint or otherwise damaged making the screws very difficult to install. One turned out to be cross-threaded, but I just left it like that, hoping I never had to take it out and put it back in. So I probably wouldn't recommend this item even though I've been riding it for a while.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • There are new competitors
