Riverstone radiators. I haven't used them since I sold my workshop, hopefully they are still operating,

Seems like there are no cast impeller versions available...

Any recommendations for Brands of fan belts and radiator hoses ?

Check out eBay for the cast impeller versions.

I got one a few years ago and was basically the only place I could find them.

Having a quick look, seems you can still get them.

Yes, I dealt with Tony at Singleton Radiators a few years ago. He's very knowledgeable and fussy. I got a new radiator and heater core from him.
