Philip,
I'm afraid I have to tell you, you are talking out of your southern hemisph
ere !
The XS radiator was made specifically for Europa, by a well established Mot
orsport supplier, never was from a motorcycle, and not from anyone in Saffr
on Walden, or in fact anywhere in Essex. I know who and where, 'aint in Ess
ex !
The company who make these for Europa have a very long lead time, I underst
and a new batch is due to arrive at Europa some time very soon. Having one 
custom made will cost more than having a stock one from Europa.
Having said that, I would look at having the original one repaired, any goo
d alloy welder could do it easily. Do a pressure test, in a bucket of water
 to be sure all is well before refitting.
Cheers,
Nev.

Goff,


Mine is a Rotax UL but I had the same problem last April and Europa factory
 could not help.  It is actually a motor cycle radiator and my engineer con
tacted the original manufacturers (who had previously supplied Europa).  I 
know they provided an excellent service very quickly, they did not replace 
the radiator but repaired it and gave it a full renovation job for about a 
third of the cost Europa would have charged for a new one.  It came back lo
oking like new and in perfect condition.


I have spoken to my engineer and inspector, Gary Johnson, he recalls (from 
memory) it was a company in Saffron Walden, but will check out the name and
 contact details tonight and send them to you.  He can be contacted on <the
highflyer@aol.com> .  


I have just searched on Google and found a firm of motor cycle repairers an
d restorers in Saffron Walden called Motorcycle Restoration Company (next t
o Audley End Station), Unit 3, Wenden Court, Station Road, Wendens Ambro, S
affron Walden, Essex, CB11 4LB, tel. 01799 542323/07734 591456, www.motorcy
clerestorationcompany.com.  There is also another motorcycle shop in Saffro
n Walden, Bert's Motorcycles, 13b Debden Road, Saffron Walden, Essex, CB11 
4AA, Tel. 01799 525611.  I have no idea whether it was either of them or ne
ither, but worth a phone call. Otherwise contact Gary tonight or he will co
ntact you.


Yours sincerely,


Philip

The coolant radiator in G-CHOX (XS Rotax 912ULS) is leaking. We need to rep
lace it asap. Europa O4 are out of stock.

Does anyone know of any other source?
