New Rad Fitted Today
well i spent all day fitting my new super dupa large rad, i had to do a bit of trimming on the bottom of the nose cone but nothing major, its a very
tight sqeeze under the nose but i hope it will do the job, ive put a photo in of my old rad so you can see the comparison of before and after!
 
as you can size the size difference is rather obvious

Hey Alex, if that doesn't get it cool then I don't know what will!
Mine seems to be behaving at long last after the engine swap. Took it out today and did 12-15 miles no problems (would have been boiling 4 times over
previously)
I've baffled around the rad and this evening cut a couple of vents in the bonnet sides.
Cheers,
John.

and how long until someone says the plastic clips that push through the rad to fix the 'small black thing' are going to damage the core.
