There will be pattern items, that I am sure of.

Try your local factors or consider gettinga  known good one off a breaker as they rarely fail.

As they are generally very reliable, would it be worth a pattern co setting up the tooling for it?

Rads and heater matrix type setups are constructed from pretty standard parts......you just cut the length of heat excahnger you want and crimp an end on it.

So, very little tooling required

Ah right.  I knew rads were like that, thought the matrix was a little more complex (on the ends) after seeing that one we dragged out of Timbuks scrapper...
