Radiator just blew.. Local source for part?

Does anyone have any suggestions for sourcing a new radiator for an NA, manual trans pronto? I barely made it home from work today. Good thing I live close to the office I guess.:drive:

Thanks

O'Reilly's can get one. Usually the same day if you call them early enough.

Make sure that if you get an aftermarket radiator that you SAVE THE MOUNTING BRACKETS off of your OEM one. This way if you ever want to put a fancy aluminum one in you'll have the brackets...

Or... you can always sell the brackets to someone that needs them.

Thanks for that. O'Reilly has one for $150 and it's a mile from my house so I'm going to just go that route I think. Path of least resistance at this point.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Youch man that hurts. I don't ride mine as much as would like but every time I start thinking about selling it and using the money for Miata parts, I go ride it and think....no way. So my Miata limps along with worn out shocks, noisy throw out bearing, paint falling off, hole in the top (friggin thieves), an over due timing belt and litany of other minor atrocities. Oh well, at least it's about to get the coolant replaced. :rolleyes:
