Radiator brand suggestions

My radiator has cracked the tank around the air inlet hole.
So have to get a new one.

Looking around there are so many brands at all different prices.

Nissens
Valeo
and other ( probably ) chinese brands.

anything to look out for ?

They all look the same.

Anyone successfully epoxied up the tank ?

okay, i ordered a Nissen,
Was more expensive, but want a good one.
Just sucks that the plastic has cracked, yet the rest of it is good.

W211 E63 AMG / W124 E500 / Lancia Delta Integrale Evo2 / Lotus Elise 111s MK1
Behr / Hella is also recommended. That's what I have ordered for mine.

My Radiator has cracked. So I’m looking for a new radiator is there any difference between the brands?
Is there an aftermarket one that’s maybe a little thicker?

I used this one

Amazon Amazon

It fits fine but check the trans cooler lines to make sure they are tight before putting it in the car.
