Default Classic FMIC which one to go for??

Hello,

Have any of you recently fitted a FMIC to your classic? I'm looking for something fairly cheap and cheerful like the ones below and the most cost effective. Does anyone know if these products below are any good? If not what should I go for?

Also my bailey dump valve has broken and no before anyone says get rid completely, I do want one fitted again which model should I go for?

Regards

ElBabbo

I've heard about people running these hybrids, do you know why they are more effective. The name suggests it uses 2 types of cooling methods?

they are just better made, i think the pipework as about the same, but the core is much better made.

same as tires, you can get the cheap budget ones, or the yoko dogs dangles ones.

both will do the same job by making your car move, but the better ones will work better and you will get more out of them

Yep, that makes sense.. The more you pay the better you get, with some exceptions of course!
