Just had the plastic radiator tank break. There are new radiators with plastic end tanks available, but I'm more comfortable with an all metal one. Anyone know of a source for an all metal radiator? Everything I've found appears to have plastic.
1981 Diesel Rabbit metal radiator?

The aluminum radiators with the plastic ends last a long time. Metal ones rust out much faster and since a VW cools well they don't have a market for the all metal ones.

OK, so are all the replacement ones made by the same company (so I can just buy on price), or is any one better than the others?
