Held for Ransom,

Thanks for the link to the pic. If anyone has one, I'd love to buy it. My radiator must have been re-cored in the oast. Has the correct tanks but is missing the tag.

Ramairnacho,

There are no fuses or lights on the blower style switches. The blower style does have a wire wound resistor (looks kinda like an old glass fuse). The lights are on the grid style.

I believe I have the original radiator to my 73 TA. One tank has large A E and small E 3 ( think this is month/year May 73) which lines up with my 06C build date. It is missing the tag. I...

I have read in the archives that they are rough. Crazy, the eagle is less pronounced and smoother than the original? That’s why I’m curious what aggressive is.
