    Fair play but referring to them as OEM is surely misleading at least isn't it ?

    Not at all. GTO is not selling them as NOS but they are manufacturing rads using the original tooling which is as close to OEM as you will get. Ferrari is able to get away with bloody murder on non correct older parts which are of newer manufacture and people treat them at as OEM just because Ferrari sells it in a yellow box.

    Agreed. It is not OEM (original equipment manufacturer). It might be an exact reproduction, but it's not OEM.

    Fwiw I paid $80 to have my OEM radiator boiled, cleaned, resoldered, tested and painted.

    It isn't even an exact reproduction.

    For them to get all arrogant with the correctness through a sale price, I don't think getting the correct bleed screw is asking too much. I guess the didn't get the bleed screw tooling or something.

    I didn't look at them, just going based off the post. Pretty bold to say it's OEM when it's flat out not.. esp when it isn't even "correct"

    As to the price... $2,200 for a rad??? Holy crap....

    Just say'n, I have one of Ferraripilot's large racing radiators in the car. I could do a 5 mile parade in Florida in the middle of summer with this thing and have no problem.
