does it already have brackets there for the radiator? If so, best ask Luego

if not use a VW polo 1.0 one, £45 from GSF

Favourite is the VW polo radiator from a 1989'ish 1 Litre model.

Beware which rad' you get as the matrix size varies from model to model. I have the 380mm wide matrix and it just fits into a Stuart Taylor nose cone.

My supplier originally sent the 430mm matrix version and that doesn't fit.

GSF part number 17321B

£43.50

I'm building one and I got a Mk2 escort one - that has been re-cored.

It's from Boston Rads - they supply Luego on an exchange basis.

Prolly easiest to plumb in as well

Thanks I will give luego ring.

Luego best idea but if not I bought one from a guy that advertises on ebay for 38.00. With some home made ally brackets it fits a treat into a velocity with a little bit of material removed from the existing mounts
