Hi cLyDe! How come the rads in a TR are not repairable? Are they a hybrid plastic tank/metal core construction?
I had a radiator shop replace the core of my 308 rad many years ago. They used a generic four-row copper core (was originally copper with brass tanks I think)... man the thing NEVER overheats. Stays rock-steady no matter what time of the year I drive it
in (winter or summer).

But the bottom line was that the air bag ECU had to work with the main ECU in other words the car would not start which is part of the SRS system
There are insurance ramifications as well with regards to the SRS
I was in the market for a 550/575 until I heard that these electronic components where no longer available
If I were you I would buy one of those units as a Combat Spare
It would make the car much more readily salable later on
As far as your TR great car
But typical Ferrari they always make the later versions better
308 vs 328
355 vs 360
Next time you service the TR install the after market aluminum radiators
That's my plan anyway
With the stock ones which are nit repairable
You are just driving a time bomb
