Here is a pic of my new Wizard Radiator for the TR4. The welds are all very well done. Seems like a quality piece. My son and I will be installing it next week. Just thought I'd Share! I'll update if there are any fitment issues.

howdy----I had one installed in my TR3 several years ago, so likely the same fitment. perfect bolt in----well designed. it has made a remarkable difference in warm weather and/or slow traffic-----having a new unit with no blockage from the years provided a dramatic improvement in cooling----never gets above the mid-point on the gauge. what also helps is, while not original, eliminating the crank hole, which blocked several tubes, increases the flow around 20%. for cold weather driving I have to cover a portion of the radiator to block part of the airflow, and also let the car warm up completely before getting on the road, because otherwise it would not even get off the cold mark.
 
New Radiator went in with no issues. She seems to run cooler, but we will see in hot weather. I purchased an electric pusher fan, but haven't installed it yet, based on macilona's feedback. I hope to not need it. It looks great! newrad.jpg
 
fyi-----I do have an electric fan-----came installed on the radiator as a kit. however, the running temperature does generally stay below the point that kicks it on. happy motoring!
 
I heard that Mark @ Macy's Garage is also offering a new fan ... I might try it this summer.
