Rare Rad required
 

Bit of a long shot this as a back up if my SP4S rad is non-fixable.
I'm after a Toyo 81404 888 SP4S rad. Yeah I can hear you laughing now.
Toyo (Now known as T.RAD) don't make 'em anymore.
It's not the same as the 916 version and I can't cut the fan lugs off the 888 standard rad because 1. I want to keep the bike original, 2. It's a different rad.

A while ago one of the DSCers put some info' my way, but as usual I can't remember who or where. Baines/Cornerspeed/whoever. Any clues?

It's the only bit now stopping the total rebuild of the bike. The rest of it is pretty much sorted, and it's looking good.

Latest pix are on the 'other' site under the Ains' SP4S blog thread.

later then.

Ains...I suggested Neil at Cornerspeed although he's away from the unit until next Monday.

Pace Products at Silverstone?

They list a bunch of Ducati stuff on http://paceproducts.co.uk/php/produc...orcycle/ducati

However, they also built a custom rad for Marchesini's trick Monster that was cheaper than the OEM model.

Could be worth a shout unless you are insistent on total originality

So it was! Cheers. Andy.

Shall also check up on pace'

Ta.

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago
Docking Radiators at Silverstone are worth a try, also mentioned it may be worth checking with Baines Racing of Silverstone to see if they have had work done by Docking, I'm told they did the rad on my 955 Corse

If it's the curved rad, i can't help. Sorry. If it's the earlier flat rad, then i have a brand spanker still in it's box.
If you do have a curved one, then the chances of finding a new one are slim to non existant. Have a chat to the people mentioned above and get a new core fitted. That'd be my rec'

Is that what you're currently looking for ???

Ains,
You have a pm from me.
Steve Robins

Steve/Phil. Have sent off for the Toyo tag on both.
Fingers crossed.
Thanks guys.
Was also informed the 996RS is the same, but I don't know about that. We'll have to see.

Ains.

just taken delivery of a rad from pace today for my sp5.... its a cracker... first one theyve done... copied my old one .. excellent!!!:smug:

Ains I will check the code against the rad on my Saturno-strange as it may seem it is running a curved 888 rad!

John

Hi Ains,
You gonna post some happy snappies here then? Can't get to see your 'other' pics......

regards,
Gary.

ps: Are you going to Stafford next month?

Hi, I'm up for one also.
Steve

Hi Gary, just picked this thread up again. All the pix I posted on the 'other' site have disappeared, the forum blew a fuse and reset itself back to June!
PACE got the job in the end, so having looked at the pic posted here, I reckon I'll be a happy chappy too. Pix a bit too big to post, and not sure how to reduce (pic' reducing guru's.....?)
News on the bike is, just waiting on one more bit and she's done.
Can't wait!!!
I'm back home mid Oct' (so I'll have to), so could well be at the show, but not sure the bike will. We'll see, if I can arrange transport then yeah. Mart' at Ducati Mancs wants to use the bike as a display piece see, I'll twist his arm to sort it.
Deffo still going to do track days on her though.

Are you going to put yours on show at Staffs, if so I'll make a concerted effort and we'll get two at the same place. That'll be worth doing.

Ains.

Here you go Ains .

Hi Ains,
Reckon I could get mine down for the weekend too, never really thought about putting it on display but if Martin wants 2 he can have it there as well.
Gary.

a group buy was mentioned earlier, who's co-ordinating this one ? as I'd like to add my name to the order (curved rad)
cheers

Neil

Bear in mind that not all 8xx rads are the same.
851 are straight, 888/SP are curved and have fan lugs and the SP4S/Corse don't have fan lugs and are cored differently to standard.

I've sent off an eMail to PACE who did my rad, and a couple of other guys who rate their job, to get an idea of what a batch purchase number is and how much it will be per rad.

Ains.

mmm, maybe I should give them a call as I'm after a corse rad but with the fan lugs in place - I guess we all have different needs, I'm thinking that my 851 straight rad just can't live with the different heat output from that 955 motor.

Ains - let me know if your still not sorted - might have a useful contact..
