Polo radiators
Does anyone know if they stayed as fairly similar dimensions over the years are they all 44-45 cm wide (i.e. correct for my Luego), looking at at Polo
IV rad but can't find a size for it

No, its the earlier one you need.
The newer ones are too wide.
My old one is spare, but has a few bent fins on it.
One of these is what you need:

I also araldited blobs at each end a couple of strips of ally to the top and bottom of the fins to stop them getting damaged, glad I did as I've
managed to bend that a little

There is a rinky-dinky little plastic tool on the market for straightening radfiator fins -- can't remember where I saw it.

northern radiators --- very good outfit to deal with cheap price and very fast delivery.

Rad's been delivered and very tasty is is too (thanks for the advice on it I'm smiley happy), £22 brand new, much smaller and about half
the weight of my old one.
Quick question, do the mounting lugs need self tappers or small bolts, m2 ish

When i replaced the rad on one of my wifes friends polo it used self tappers to hold the rad in place.
Not that great really!
