Question How much to replace an EB radiator?

My boys EB died big time last night
(2 a.m. called to come and help, why don't things go wrong in day light?)
The radiator needs to be replaced.
What am I looking at spending (sorry what is my son going to have to spend)

about 160- 200 for a natrad radiator. it would be a good idea to replace the hoses when you do the rad as well. its a little easier to get the hoses when the rad is out.

I need a radiator as well, but I don't like the idea of non-genuine - especially for such a critical part.

I've heard it is possible to get Natrad radiators with brass side tanks for $250, now I just have to find someone in Vic to sell one to me.
